Beyond their typically smaller size, community banks are defined by their focus on the geographic area or community they call home. That means your money stays local via loans to neighborhood small businesses and sponsorships of community initiatives. Banking with 1st Capital Bank is the financial equivalent of shopping locally. #growyourbusiness #neighborhoodbank #1stcapitalbank #communitybanking #banklocal #connections #localresources

This is a busy month for many Credit Unions as they place a huge emphasis on community empowerment and education. It's a great opportunity to help people understand the role of credit unions within their communities and to educate them on financial literacy.

It really does make a difference when you do business locally. If given the choice between a local business or national business, I overwhelmingly choose local. If you're not banking with a community bank, lets grab coffee or lunch and see how we can change that! #communitybankingmonth #local

Community Banks: Catalysts for Economic Growth and Job Creation Last week, we discussed the importance of community banks as cornerstones of our communities. This week, let's delve into their crucial role as economic drivers and job creators. Community banks play a vital part in supporting small businesses, which are the backbone of our local economies. By providing loans, lines of credit, and financial advice, community banks empower entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses. According to the American Bankers Association, community banks in Indiana supported the lending needs of small businesses last year with over 11 billion in loans. These businesses, in turn, generate economic activity, stimulate local spending, and contribute to overall prosperity. In one recent success story, a business received a loan from GBC Bank to expand their operations. This investment led to the creation of 35 new jobs and a boost to the local economy. Stay tuned for more insights into the invaluable contributions of community banks to our communities. #CommunityBanking #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #JobCreation
