Why Bank Locally? Discover the Benefits of Community Banking
In a world full of banking options trying to grab your attention, understanding the options and the greater impact your decisions have is important. Here's five reasons to consider a community bank:
Key Takeaways: Banking locally at a bank like Port Richmond Savings means personalized service, lower costs, and local decision-makers. Banking locally also means strong community ties as well as a direct investment in your Philadelphia community.
Your deposits help fund local businesses, support neighborhood growth, and strengthen the city we all call home.
Personalized Service
Community banks are relationship lenders. At Port Richmond Savings, we know our customers personally and take the time to understand their unique financial needs. This personalized approach means you get tailored services and support. When
you call our phones, there is a person ready to have a conversation with you. Our Google reviews can attest to this.
Cost Savings
Local banks are oftentimes able to have lower fees than big banks, according to bankrate.com, saving you money. We also offer the same convenient banking products as the big banks-
such as bill pay, mobile and online banking, and mobile deposits. Lower fees with the same products- it's a win-win!
By Banking Locally, You are Investing in Your Community
When you bank at a community bank, the money you deposit there stays in your local community. For example, when you make a deposit here at Port Richmond Savings, your deposits help fund Sue's mortgage who is fixing up that house down the street
and Joe's small business loan needed to open his new bakery around the corner. Community banks lend over 60% of small business loans, supporting local entrepreneurs who in turn create roughly 66% of new jobs. So your banking choice directly impacts
your local economy. Choosing to bank at Port Richmond Savings directly impacts this great city of Philadelphia because we keep your money working here. You're not just banking- you're building Philadelphia.
Local Decision Makers
At a local bank, the decision makers are usually local residents themselves, so they understand the neighborhood, its culture, and its needs. They too can help folks that may have a harder time getting approved for a loan elsewhere. This is
unlike big banks, where the decision makers are sitting in an office in some other part of the country, using a standardized formula to decide if someone should or should not be given a loan. Community banks are able to offer a more personalized approach.
