Overview
A guide for community banks to rebuild and strengthen their business
With Wall Street reeling and big banks under pressure, community banks have an opportunity to strengthen their position in the marketplace. By reconnecting with local businesses and consumers, increasing core deposits, and carefully managing their investments and balance sheets, community banks can attract underserved clients from larger competitors.
With Community Banking Strategies, author Vincent Boberski???a financial professional who has spent years working with senior management and the boards of directors at local banks???skillfully reveals how community banks can compete against bigger institutions in the wake of the most significant financial crisis since the 1930s.
Beginning with a novel analysis of community banks and their relationship to both national and global financial competitors, he insightfully places the meltdown of the financial markets and the resulting Great Recession into a historical context. With a bold look into the future, Boberski outlines the risks and trends that will shape both the industry and the economy as a whole. He sets clear strategic goals that will allow community bank managers, directors, and investors to profit from a broad localization of American finance.
Chapter by chapter, Boberski offers practical advice on many of the most important issues in this area, including portfolio management, balance sheet management, and dealing with interest rate and credit cycles. Along the way, Boberski also offers in-depth insights on establishing and encouraging the lasting client relationships that produce the most essential piece of the banking business: core deposits, the heart of any good local bank.
