Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited (Bendigo Bank) (ASX:BEN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Travis Dillon as a non-executive director effective 21 February 2025.

Travis has extensive commercial and strategic expertise in the agribusiness sector, a key strategic focus for the Bank as the transformation of its Business and Agribusiness division continues.

Travis holds a Master of Business Administration and is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD). Travis will seek election at the Annual General Meeting later this year.

Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Chair Vicki Carter welcomed Mr Dillon to the Board, highlighting his deep ties with the agribusiness and agriculture sectors.

“Travis will be a valuable addition to the Board and brings with him a strong understanding of rural and regional business as well as contemporary experience as a Director of ASX-listed companies. His insight will support the implementation of the new Business and Agribusiness platform and the Bank’s growth agenda," Ms Carter said.

“We admire the way Travis has demonstrated his connection with the community through his association with and commitment to Lifeline Australia. This is very much aligned with the Bank’s longstanding purpose of feeding into the prosperity of its customers and the community.”

Mr Dillon said: “I’m incredibly excited and humbled to be joining Bendigo and Adelaide Bank at such an important time for the organisation. I’m also pleased to be joining an institution with values that are aligned with my own and I look forward to supporting the Bank as it accelerates its transformation for the benefit of all its stakeholders”.
