Bank of Dudley’s Post

We know Community Banks work hard in the communities we live in, that hard work shows through our clients satisfication. According to the Federal Reserve’s Small Business Credit Survey: Report on Employer Firms, community banks are the small business lender of choice. 81% of community bank loan applicants were satisfied with their experience, compared with 68% at large banks, 62% at finance companies, and 48% at online lenders. Community banks’ net satisfaction score of 77% topped large banks by 15 points, finance companies by 25 points, and online lenders by 48 points. CollinHiggins@arborbanking.com arborbanking.com

In 1984, the world was in the throes of the Cold War and movies like "Ghostbusters" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" were box office hits. It was also the year Stan Sayler started his career with Security Bank of Hebron, serving the communities of Hebron and Taylor. The banking industry in 1984 was vastly different from what it is today. The prime interest rate in the United States was a staggering 10.75% with a 30-year fixed mortgage around 13.88%, figures that seems almost unimaginable today. Since 1984, the banking industry has significantly changed, including the rise of online banking, mobile payments, and the implementation of stricter regulations. Stan has been instrumental in navigating Dakota Community Bank & Trust through these seismic shifts and storms for the past 40 years. Today, Dakota Community Bank & Trust operates 13 branches and employs over 200 employees. This growth and success would not have been possible without Stan's unwavering commitment to the bank. Today, we acknowledge his significant contributions and thank him for his years of experience and leadership. Cheers to 40 years of success and headaches!

Apparently there is NO hope of property growth in Hobart, Canberra and Darwin....Guess game is fine but only time will tell how accurate this prediction is from 2 of the Big 4 Banks... Now they are giving this forecast but you should not write off all the suburbs just because someone made this statement. There are 16000 suburbs in the country so one statement can't fit all. One Asset, One Street and One Location can make huge difference to numbers. Best of luck.
