This is the real picture of the American community banker. They need our help:
The Fi FinTech Movement is about supporting community banks across our country. We're thinking of towns like Somerset, PA., where Community Bankers sprang into action after Flight United 93 heroically went down on 9/11. Towns where community bank 4H contributions are creating first-generation college students. Towns where community bankers heroically show up to serve after a natural disaster has struck, even when their own homes are destroyed. These are communities where bankers grill hot dogs and burgers on a Saturday in 104-degree heat to raise money for new cheerleading uniforms and later in the year play Santa Claus while handing out candy to the children.
As a boy in our small town, I remember a Parade. It was freezing cold around Christmas time. I looked up at our town's community banker wearing our team's football jersey, standing on top of a makeshift Parade Float, slowly rolling down Main Street holding up a golden championship football. The whole town was cheering because everyone knew him. He was our hometown banker, giving us pride.
I will never forget it...
