With 100+ years of experience serving local communities, Reliabank understands the essential role banks play in creating thriving places to live and work.
That’s why the dollars we invest go right back into our neighborhoods – providing financial security, job opportunities and helping propel community growth forward.
Reinvesting in your community sounds great, but how does one really put that into action?
If you’ve ever wondered if it matters where you deposit your hard-earned money, let me assure you it does. Not only does banking locally support small businesses (community banks fund more than 60% of small business loans and more than 80% of ag loans), but as locally owned and operated businesses themselves, they are part of the economic engines that create 62 percent of new jobs annually. That’s powerful.
And if you need more proof just consider the community bank impact on local communities:
- Community banks outpace large banks in their average number of banks operating in both rural and urban markets by a 3:1 ratio.
- Community banks are preferred small business lenders, with an 81 percent net satisfaction score compared to 68 percent for large banks and just 43 percent for online lenders.
- Community banks operate in areas abandoned by others—serving as the only physical banking presence in nearly one in three U.S. counties.
When Reliabankers log volunteer hours in support of local organizations or when Reliabank contributes to school activities, we are working toward our goal to ensure economic prosperity for the community we call home.
April is Community Banking Month, and we want to thank our customers for putting their trust in us for their banking needs. For our neighbors who may be considering a switch, we implore you to take a closer look at Reliabank to discover how we can help you realize your financial dreams.
When you bank with us at Reliabank, your investment is an investment in your own future as well! Reliabank is your community bank, not just a bank in your community.
