April is Community Banking Month and United Bank is encouraging consumers and small business owners to “bank locally” by finding a hometown bank. United Bank is celebrating community banking throughout the spring as a sponsor of various local events. United Bank will also support schools across its footprint by participating in the Teach Children to Save financial literacy effort. "When customers bank locally and shop locally, they directly impact their communities,” said Bob Jones, president and CEO of United Bank. “Customers can be confident knowing the funds they deposit are reinvested in ways that help create jobs, impact families and drive community development. It really is neighbor helping neighbor.”
