2020 continues to surprise, especially within financial services. Covid has impacted the market up and down so looking at this from a community bank perspective sheds light on what is happening on small businesses and consumers alike. This week, I am speaking again with the incredible Jill Castilla. Named "Community Banker of the Year" by American Banker, "Most Innovative CEOs in Banking" by Bank Innovation, "Most Admired CEOs in Oklahoma" by Journal Record and "Business Leader of the Year" by Oklahoma Christian University, Jill Castilla is a force to be reckoned with.
Jill and Citizens of Edmond is a shining example of a community bank who took a proactive approach by focusing on technology and partnering with fintech startups and celebrities including Mark Cuban to have a direct impact on small businesses. This was done in many ways but one of the most prominent ways is through the website ppp.bank. Listen in below to the conversation where Jill and I speak about the impact on Covid at length and specifically can be done with PPP.
