I want local support for my...

Financial decisions such as who to partner with for deposit accounts, a home mortgage or financing your business or farm shouldn't be trusted to just anyone. All of the local banks we recommend have been personally vetted by our team to ensure you will work with someone who will not only understand your specific needs, but is also an active and supporting member of your local community. Go with a local bank you can trust!

How do you select trusted local banks?

All local banks we trust go through a rigorous application process to qualify based on their financial strength, service to their communities, experience, and shared values. Trusted member banks are independently owned and operated. They are large enough to provide the services you need but small enough to provide the personal service you deserve. We select one trusted member bank per market. Member banks are obligated to provide all the services and resources that are customary and consistent with the best practices of the banking industry, but we cannot guarantee the services offered by the trusted local bank or that rates and terms are the best in the market. You are encouraged to ask questions and conduct your own research on the products and services offered by the trusted local bank.

What happens when I submit my application?

We will send you an email confirming receipt of your inquiry and will follow up with a brief phone call to gather more information. If there is an approved trusted local bank in your market, we will assign them to your inquiry and they will contact you shortly thereafter.

If I don't want to leave my information is there someone I can speak with?

Yes, we are happy to take a call or reply to an email to answer any questions you may have. Please call 833-314-6548 or email us at contact@localbanksitrust.com.
