APRIL IS COMMUNITY BANKING MONTH: WHY SUPPORTING LOCAL BANKS MATTERS
April is not just any other month at Commercial Bank, it’s Community Banking Month. This month is dedicated to reflecting on what it truly means to be a local community bank and why it matters to you, your family, and your business. Unlike larger banks, community banks like ours are an integral part of the neighborhoods we serve. We’re not solely focused on numbers or balance sheets; we’re focused on people, local businesses, and the communities we call home.
A Bank Built on Local Values
Commercial Bank has been driven by a single mission since day one: putting our communities first. All of our decisions are made locally by people who live and work right here. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities in our region, from rural towns to growing urban neighborhoods.
Fostering Growth and Opportunity
Community banks are essential in driving economic growth. At Commercial Bank, we take pride in supporting small businesses, first-time homebuyers, and local projects that help strengthen our area. Community banks like ours provide more than half of all small business loans across the country, creating jobs and boosting both urban and rural communities.
Why Community Banks Matter
So, why does community banking matter? It’s about personalized service and meaningful relationships. It’s about knowing your banker by name and having fast, local decisions made by people who truly understand your goals.
At Commercial Bank, we’re not just your bank—we’re your partner, neighbor, advocate and YOUR FINANCIAL OASIS. Whether it’s supporting local schools, volunteering with community organizations, or investing in small businesses, we’re committed to helping our region thrive.
