Reinvestment Partners brings you The Future of Banking in Rural North Carolina, a symposium to examine economic and banking trends in rural North Carolina and how they affect bank branch locations.
What are the causes of current declining trends? What is the impact on communities, for whom local branches provide critical infrastructure? What are solutions for maintaining banking services in rural areas?
Join leaders from the Federal Reserve, FDIC, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Consumer Bankers Association, and leading nonprofits to discuss this important challenge and prioritize efforts to find answers.
