BTC Bank and ICBA Urge Customers to Go Local
Support small businesses throughout the holidays by shopping, dining and banking locally.
(November 27, 2018)—The Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) joins the nation’s nearly 5,700 community banks encouraging consumers to Go Local when shopping for friends and family this holiday season.
When you support locally owned and operated businesses by shopping or dining locally, every dollar spent is returned threefold to your local economy—putting your hard-earned money to work in the community you call home. Local businesses also create two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. annually, which means your support for these businesses also helps our national economy thrive.
“We are proud to serve as a financial incubator for many small businesses across our local communities, and we encourage consumers to Go Local for their holiday and year-round purchases,” said Doug Fish, President and CEO at BTC Bank. “When small businesses succeed, everybody wins, opening the door for greater community reinvestment and innovation, which help our community thrive.”
As the primary source of lending for the nation’s small businesses, community banks will continue to help create small businesses and launch entrepreneurs’ dreams across the nation. In fact, community banks with less than $10 billion in assets make more than 60 percent of all small business loans under $1 million.
Show support for local entrepreneurs and small businesses throughout the year by sharing your experiences via the #GoLocal hashtag. To learn more about ICBA’s Go Local initiative and how community banks support local small business, visit www.icba.org/golocal or follow the hashtag #GoLocalHolidays.
