The Twin Cities Banking Industry’s Long Road to Stability 

Life is slowly returning to normal from the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

While there are still many hurdles ahead, many of 21st Century Bank’s small business customers are ready to make some major choices. Businesses were forced to put many decisions on hold when the pandemic started, and now, the economy is starting to change, and we are encouraged that some companies are making the push. Community banks play a key role in small business lending, and we are proud to help during this difficult time.  

21st Century Bank’s president Jon Dolphin had the pleasure to have been featured in a Twin Cities Business article on this topic – and believe it offers valuable insight on the past to help us look toward the future. A special shout out goes to Burl Gilyard, senior writer at the magazine, for taking the time to interview him. It’s clear he truly cares about the topic – so we encourage you to give this article a read!
