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 a few reasons to consider a community bank:
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 human ready to talk to you.
Cost Savings
Local banks often have lower fees than big banks, according to bankrate.com, saving you money. We also have the same convenient banking products- such as bill pay, mobile and online banking, and mobile deposits- as do the big guys. It is 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 down the street and Joe's small business loan needed to open his new bakery around the corner. Did you know Community banks lend over 60% of small business loans, supporting local entrepreneurs and creating jobs? Small businesses 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.
Community Connection
Community banks respect and honor their roots. Look no further than Port Richmond Savings - named for the very neighborhood we are planted in. We're invested in Philadelphia because we are a part of it. From being a part of the Pierogi Festival to partnering with local schools, we're 100% Philly proud.
