Shop Local this Holiday Season
Kleberg Bank joins the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in encouraging consumers to shop locally—online or in person—when purchasing gifts for friends and family during the holiday season.
When you support locally owned and operated businesses by shopping or dining locally, $48 out of every $100 is returned to the local economy, boosting job growth, charitable giving, and civic engagement (compared to just $14 out of every $100 spent at national chains).
When you reinvest in the businesses that support your neighbors, you’re making an investment in our collective future and helping our community prosper. Local businesses also accounted for 66 percent of employment growth over the last 25 years, which means your support for these businesses also helps keep the local economy thriving.
As a lender of choice for the nation’s small businesses, community banks continue to fund entrepreneurs’ dreams—one loan at a time. In fact, community banks make more than 60 percent of all small business loans under $1 million and serve as the only physical banking presence in nearly one in three U.S. counties.
Show support for local entrepreneurs and small businesses this Cyber Monday and throughout the holiday season and help our South Texas community thrive.
