The Benefits of Banking Locally

When banking locally, you get personalized service right in your own community. With the convenience of handling transactions onsite instead of online or on the phone, you get the best of both in-person and digital experiences. Bonus: getting to know your banking team by name gives you the added benefit of a relationship that helps you grow with your money. 

Local Banking Fuels Local Economy

Banking locally also allows you, the customer, to put your money back into the local economy. The funds that go into local banks often find their way back out to other businesses and organizations within the community, which is infinitely beneficial for everyone involved. This helps stimulate growth in the local economy, leading to more jobs and opportunities for residents.

Local Banks are Available When You Need Them

When banking with a local institution—such as us here at First Seacoast Bank—customers can have peace of mind knowing their banking team is always available. This relationship allows you to ask questions about banking services without feeling rushed out of the door, like at larger banking establishments where the personal touch isn’t the primary concern. 

The value proposition of banking locally as an individual or business is that it offers the convenience and security of a traditional brick-and-mortar bank with the added element of modern technology and services. Customers can expect to receive a high level of customer service and personal attention from their local banking team, in addition to access to competitive interest rates, flexible loan products, and innovative investment options. 

Local banks often offer more competitive fees than large national banks, making them a great choice for customers who want to save money. Given their position of serving and understanding the community around them, local financial institutions understand what local clientele are generally looking for that might be unique to the applicable geographic locale. 

What to Expect When Banking Locally

Customers can take advantage of digital banking options such as:

• Mobile check deposits
• Online bill payment services
• Person to person payments
• Real-time alerts
• Mobile banking app 

For businesses looking for financial solutions tailored to their needs, the team at First Seacoast Bank offers personalized advice to help them achieve success. Their commitment to local communities extends beyond providing essential banking services. They’re dedicated to helping individuals and businesses reach their full potential through education initiatives like free financial literacy workshops for both adults and children.

Additionally, local banks often have more lenient borrowing requirements than big national banks, giving them an edge when it comes to offering better rates on loans and lines of credit for both individuals and businesses.
