By blending the digital and physical realms, community banks continue to foster a sense of belonging and trust within their local communities. In 2024, community banks are not only focused on financial prosperity but also on making a positive impact on society and the environment.

Heard this on Marketplace this morning. Such an important thing to consider the impacts on the community when the larger banks continue to acquire smaller, more community focused banks - especially when there are already so many people and neighborhoods in the country who don't have access to a local physical branch and are unbanked!  #systematicinequality #accesstobanking #bankingindustryconsolidation https://lnkd.in/e2aJ5w5t

Selling a community bank past vs present: Past: Here's what I have, what multiple can I get? Present: Here's what we can do and become, together. Refocus perspective. Master the process. P.S. Yesterday, The Savvy Banker newsletter dealt a little deeper with values and multiples. If you are not a subscriber of the free weekly newsletter you can do so by following the link provided in my comments below.

Interesting trend. If you can’t read the WSJ article because of the subscription, basically people and businesses are switching to local community banks because of service, fees, interest rates and convenience. LF has always banked with local community banks because they are more invested in our local community. Now, if only more of them helped themselves with stronger brand and marketing strategies to take more market share from the giant banks! https://lnkd.in/gm4eNbdz
