What is a Community Bank?
Community banks are well established financial institutions that operate within the communities they serve. They are businesses themselves, so they are nimble and responsive to community needs. As high-tech, high-touch lenders that specialize in relationship banking, community banks build better communities by prioritizing and investing in the customers and neighborhoods they serve.
