February is the month to love your local financial institution!

Arizonans have deposited 96% of their money into banks with out-of-state ownership. Local First Arizona is looking to change that by encouraging your business to explore the local financial institutions that are the ones lending to local business owners and entrepreneurs in both good and tough times.

We have put together a fun and casual event where we are gathering eight Arizona banks and credit unions so as an attendee, you will be able to hear presentations, gather information, and ask questions with the goal of finding a local financial institution that will be the best fit for your business.

You’ll have the opportunity to meet with West Valley National Bank, Gateway Bank, Arizona Central Credit Union, Desert Schools Federal Credit Union, Meridian Bank, MariSol Federal Credit Union, Alliance Bank of Arizona and Pinnacle Bank.

Join us to learn how to put your money to work for you and your community!

When: Tuesday, February 18 from 6-9 p.m.

Where: Hotel Valley Ho
