The number of people working at banks can vary greatly depending on the size and type of bank. Larger banks can employ thousands of people, while smaller community banks may have a few dozen employees. Overall, banks employ millions of people worldwide.
banks that lent money to people with little or no credit and then those people cant afford what was purchased. then they file bankrupt. that's one way
There are many services provided by community banks. Community banks offer loans, credit cards, ATM, debit cards, competitive rates, internet banking security, and many other services.
Internet banks tend to offer higher interest rates then local banks but local banks give back to you community more and offer you more access to your funds. They make loans to you and your neighbors and local businesses. They pay property taxes and income taxes in your state. They also give back to you community through donations to community projects. They also provide jobs to people in your community.
It is true that some people use food banks even when they can afford to feed themselves. But, the line between the "haves" and the "have nots" becomes more and more blurred everyday. Add to this the fact that most people can follow directions on a box, but they don't know how to really cook.
Dealerships can afford to offer loans to people with bad credit because they require a larger down payment and give a higher finance rate but in turn give the customers smaller payment amounts to pay each month.

When a bank is referred to as a "people's bank" it is usually a marketing term that references the bank's ties to the community. There are actually a number of regional banks called Peoples Bank and it's just another type of community bank that does not differ from most other banks. The only exception is that a community bank could be more inclined to offer small business loans. People's Bank is not different than a regular bank. They have location's & ATM's just like other banks. They claim to have real performance and solutions. They do have higher interests rates to start of with.
Community Savings are effectively not-for-profit banks. They offer savings and loans to members of the community who are keen to help their neighbours who may have poor credit ratings. Obviously the more people that invest the more money they are able to loan.
There are lots of Community Banks around, such as 1st Mariner Bank, Pinnacle Bank (GA), Westbury Bank, FirstBank, Flushing Bank, BankUnited, IberiaBank, and more.
