Community Bank Experience, Big Bank Products

Community banks are the original business incubators. This country’s entrepreneurial spirit was quite literally funded by community banks. Historically, community banks have been the originator for nearly 60% of business loans made to small and medium companies. Community bankers know their markets and their customers. In honor of Community Banking Month now is an ideal time to strengthen your relationship with a community banker.

But what’s the real difference between our community bank and that big bank down the street and on every corner? Relationships, not products. Relationships make the difference, but our products and services are competitive with the big players. Our Village gets a community bank experience with big bank products and services. Check out our services:
