Are Banks Turning Their Backs to You?

In today’s very competitive environment, small business owners are looking for business partners that are interested in building and maintaining a reciprocal relationship. This relationship doesn’t happen overnight but takes time to develop and be beneficial. When I think of one of the best relationships that a small business owner can have it is with their banker. Who else is better to see trends in the local marketplace and have some insight in possible competitors entering (or existing). 

However in today’s banking world, most large banks are eliminating the departments that focused on the small business owner. Perhaps this move is to save a few dollars or to focus on the larger companies and thus no longer wish to be partners with the small or local business owners.  Community banks, like Inland Bank and Trust, have been founded on providing banking services to small and local business and providing access to capital which contributes to the growth of the local economy.

Inland Bank and Trust can help you grow your business through the many products and services that we offer. Inland Bank offers easy to understand accounts with little or no monthly maintenance fees as well as a full service Treasury Management department that can assist you with your cash flow needs. If you are thinking of expanding your business or starting up a new business, the bank can provide access to capital for a commercial mortgage or equipment lending to working lines of credit. Inland Bank is strong enough to serve but small enough to care.
