What was it all about?
All panelists got to participate in the discussion by answering questions from SFBW regarding:
- The Great Recession and the state of community banks now
- If they have been approached to sell their bank or are interested in a merger
- Their business plans
- Whether they encounter any limitation set by regulators
- If and how about the trade tariffs impacting their bank and clients.
This last question brought by SFBW spiced things up before the discussion ended:
Do you offer any banking services to companies in the medical marijuana field or do you see that happening anytime soon?
Understandably, none of the attendees felt comfortable giving an answer on this topic. If you have thoughts on these topic you would like to share, please reach out to me via email at af@tsl.io
