“We are honored and proud to have received these two awards back-to-back, especially since both wins were determined by the people of this great community. It’s gratifying to see that the majority of the people are supporting local, which is illustrated in their decision to vote for the only bank headquartered in Berks County instead of other, larger banks in our area. Clearly, people highly value the hometown hospitality that Fleetwood Bank will always offer. The intangible factor of character still matters – and always will – at Fleetwood Bank. Our team is comprised of decision makers who live in our community, so we get back to our customers quickly. Community bankers have a long-term commitment to the people they serve, creating opportunities for our customers and our communities as a whole. For us it’s about building a stronger community – whether that’s through pitching in to help build a ball field or purchasing new instruments for the high school band. We work with our customers when they are working through difficult times, and we celebrate with them during the good times. It isn’t about interest rates and fees; it’s about helping families buy their first home or put a child through college and being there when they need us most. We’re not just bankers; we’re your neighbor and friend. That’s the difference a local community bank gives you.”
