April is Community Banking Month, a celebration of the commitment of community banks to help both consumers and small businesses achieve their financial goals and create communities of prosperity nationwide.
According to the Independent Community Bankers of America®, unlike larger banks that may take deposits in one state and lend in others, community banks channel their loans to the neighborhoods where their depositors live and work, which helps local businesses and communities thrive.
Community banks are an integral part of Main Street, and with nearly 50,000 locations nationwide, community banks employ nearly 700,000 Americans. Consider banking locally in your neighborhood!
