Support Small Business Series
The Swantown Inn is a small Mom and Pop, family owned business. In this series of blog posts we want to highlight other small businesses. Some we frequent often, some less so, but if there is a choice between a chain and a local option we almost always go for the local.
Not all banks are created equal.
Why would we feature a bank? Well because it is truly local and supports all sorts of local businesses, families and events. It helps keep our town what it is, unique. They keep and service their loans internally, this is unusual. They put people before profits.
Technically you probably cannot call Olympia Federal Savings Bank a small business, they hold millions of dollars in deposits, employ hundreds of people and have multiple locations. What makes them so different, and why we are now madly in love with them, is that they are a truly local bank. From the people who bank with them, there operating structure, and the financial decisions they make, everything they do is focused on the local community.
We truly feel special and heard, and it really has not sunk in completely, how monumental this is for our business, family and lives. OlyFed did a great thing and we will be forever grateful. They have put us in a position where we can also give back and support local causes.
If you are already an Olympia resident, thinking of moving here, or need any sort of banking, we really cannot think of a better partner to help secure your financial future.
