Invest in Arizona

The ‘buy local’ movement isn’t just about spending your dollars locally, it’s about investing in your community, and that starts with where your dollars are deposited. 

Fundamentally, community banks and credit unions have a keen knowledge of our local markets and rely on strong relationships with their customers. As nonprofits, credit unions are committed to their customers as shareholders and return earnings to members through lower loan rates, higher deposit rates, and lower and fewer fees. 

Yet Arizona is the most underserved state in the country in terms of community banks per capita. There are just 14 Arizona-based institutions located in the state, leaving eight counties with no community bank representation at all. This lack of locally controlled deposits limits community investments and local lending, which stifles local business growth, particularly small and start-up businesses, which account for a majority of jobs in Arizona.

When your money is deposited in locally owned and operated community banks and credit unions, it's invested right back into our local economy.
