Local Banking Brings Community Growth

How does banking local help communities grow?

Community Banks hire local people, donate to local non-profits, and use deposits to lend to local businesses.

Local Businesses turn loans and investments into revenue, support other local businesses, and hire locally.

Communities Grow when local employees invest their time, patronage, and donations supporting local businesses, charities, and financial institutions.

Ascend Bank is currently providing more than $95,000,000 in funding to local CT businesses.
