community banks
Neighborhood financial institutions
Community banks are small, locally owned financial institutions that focus on serving individuals and businesses within a specific geographic area.
Unlike large national banks, they emphasize personal relationships and local decision-making: The community bank approved the loan because they knew the family's farm had been profitable for generations.
They typically reinvest deposits back into the communities they serve.
