Marketing Materials Make Celebrating Community Banking Month Easy
April marks Community Banking Month, a nationwide celebration recognizing the many contributions community banks make to their customers and communities. CBA of Georgia encourages our members to celebrate Community Banking Month and spread the word about what makes your bank an integral part of your local community. Collectively, community banks give more than 60% of all small-business loans and more than 80% of agriculture loans nationwide and contribute tax dollars that help maintain local municipalities. According to ICBA, community banks: |
