Valuer - Agribusiness

We’ve never been ‘just a bank’. Just like you should never be ‘just an employee’. We’re united in our belief that in banking, better can be bigger, and together we’re making it happen.

It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

As part of the Credit and Market Risk Department, the In-house Valuation team supports the business objectives of the Agribusiness division in relation to the credit assessment and management of Agri-loans and loan portfolios. In-house Valuers within the rural business provide the requisite property valuations expertise to assist in achieving our business objectives.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Property Risk, the role of Valuer will be responsible for verification of property details, analysis of comparable sales evidence, market analysis, appraisal of property values, instruction of Panel valuation firms and review of Panel valuation reports.

Valuers play an important role in the function of the Property Risk team by appraising property values at the request of front-line Agribusiness Relationship Managers, to form a critical part of their credit submission for the borrower. Providing accurate property appraisals in a timely manner allows greater ‘speed to market’ whilst keeping risk exposure to a minimum.
