April is Community Banking Month, and a time SHAZAM reflects on and celebrates the personal, long-term relationships we’ve built nationwide. We’re a full-service provider dedicated to our clients. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve welcomed 20 financial institutions to the SHAZAM circle of products and services.
Community banks do important work and are vital, enabling local businesses and neighborhoods to thrive. SHAZAM is poised to help community financial institutions of all sizes be the best they can be, so everyone wins. From local farms to main street to small businesses, community banks connect people to their neighbors, giving everyone a stake in their shared success.
Community banks:
• Comprise 99% of all banks
• Provide more than 60% of all small business loans
• Make more than 80% of agricultural loans
• Have more than 50,000 locations nationwide
• Employ nearly 750,000 people
