Why you should bank with a Community Bank...

Once again this past week one of our nation’s largest bank was in the spotlight.   Wells Fargo agreed to a $185 million settlement for widespread illegal sales practices.  According the the allegations, Wells Fargo opened up as many as 2 million fraudulent deposit and credit card accounts.  Makes me sick to call them a “bank.”

I also read recently that only 9% of millennials bank at community banks. This really surprised me.

Instead of telling you why I think you should bank at a community bank such as Community State Bank,  I'm going to tell you why you shouldn’t:

• If you don’t want to know the people you are dealing with regarding your finances... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t want someone looking out for you on a personal level... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t care about your bank helping to improve your community... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t care about being called by your first name by someone who actually knows it... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t care about someone making decision on your behalf that don’t know where SE Wisconsin even is... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t care about calling someone with a question who can’t pronounce the town that you live in... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
• If you don’t worry about being treated unfairly by the people who claim to be looking out for your best interest... don’t bank at a community bank.
  
  

Well, I think you get the point.  The truth is that we in community banks really do care about you and your family.  Our kids go to school with your kids and grandchildren. We go to the same churches, we go to the same grocery stores and we go to the same county fairs.  We take it personally when someone is hurting, and we don’t like people being taken advantage of!
 
If you are a customer now, I really appreciate it.  If not, give us a try!  I trust that you will be glad you did.
