Happy Thanksgiving! Doesn't Everyone Celebrate Thanksgiving in January? CALL US FOR No, we are not confused. Doesn't everyone celebrate Thanksgiving with Christmas trees and the Easter Bunny in January? Alright, maybe we are a ittle confused. But look at it this way, if we didn't have a confusing headline, you might not be reading this ad right now. So why are we celebrating Thanksgiving in January? It's because we are thankful for the success of the First Secure Community Bank of Joliet. How do we know that we are more successful than most other banks in the area? Because every bank is required to report the dollar amount of deposits, that they have by branch as of June 30th, to the FDIC every year. And that is public information on the FDIC web site. This way, we know how much in deposits every other bank along Essington Road has. And every other bank knows the amount of deposits that we have. And the other banks ain't happy with us. PPP Loans Here's the reason. We have been open for about 2.5 years. All of the rest ot the banks on Essington have been open much longer. Usually decades. And, in our 2 anda % years, we have far more in deposits than any of the other banks have (except for one). In fact, we are twice or more as large as most of the other banks along or within a block of Essington Road. Here's the 6/30/20 info for that area right off of the FDIC web site. WE ARE THE EXPERTS! We obtained more than 1600 Deposits in S milions PPP Loans last year totaling over $180,000,000. Other banks failed to obtain PPP loans for their customers. Some banks didn't even try.
