STATE BANK OF COUNTRYSIDE FEATURED IN NATIONAL BUSINESS SERIES (NBS) DOCUMENTARY

As one of the best community banks in the nation, State Bank of Countryside was asked to take part in a documentary that discusses the benefits of community banking. On Wednesday, March 5, a film crew from The National Business Series (NBS) came to our Countryside location to film the mini-documentary. The NBS is a series produced for PBS television that can be seen during fund-raising drives. NBS is moderated by Hugh Downs, famous television host and former anchor of 20/20.

The documentary includes interviews with State Bank of Countryside (SBC) management, SBC owners, and an industry expert. There are also testimonials from Bank customers. Our segment will be distributed to all regional PBS stations, and play in the Chicago Metropolitan Area for forty airings.
