The nation\u2019s 5,000+ banks (of all sizes) support their customers and communities by lending money that helps individuals, families and businesses secure a brighter future.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In the United States, banks employ two million employees, providing a safe place for customers to save, as well as offering the financial and volunteer support communities need to succeed.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Over this past and challenging year, banks posted $10.9 trillion in total loans outstanding, and safeguarded customers&#8217; finances with $22.3 billion in prevented fraud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Banks make a difference in every state.  In my own, California, banks employ 160,792 individuals, booked $269.4 billion in new home loans in 2020, and serve 24.7 million customers.<\/p>\n<p>Over this daunting pandemic period, the essential role America&#8217;s banks have played in the nation&#8217;s well-being has never been more apparent. Banks of all sizes have stepped up for their customers, employees and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n<p>Now do you see why I\u2019m proud to be a part of this  industry?[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243;
