Consumer Tips Newspaper Column Introduced!

In our continuing effort to reinforce the community banks important role in financial education and local customer service, Community Bankers of Iowa for a several years circulated a series of consumer education tips to Iowa newspapers. These are distributed free of charge to all daily and weekly papers across Iowa on a monthly basis. Each article will also be posted on the CBI website. Feel free to link these articles to your bank's website as well. It is our hope that the newspapers will use this material and will appreciate your efforts. We would encourage you to make sure that you reinforce to your local publisher that these articles are coming as a result of your efforts. Each month's newsletter will contain information about that month's consumer tips. You might also want to include these articles in your customer newsletters. Again, they are there for your unlimited use as a member benefit. If you would like to receive each months article by e-mail, please send us an e-mail message at cbia@cbiaonline.org.
