Why doesn't Garden State Community Bank have a lot of locations? (Wells Fargo, credit)

[PricelessPoseidon]

Is there a reason why this bank doesn't have a lot of locations?

Oh nevermind then. Didn't realize there was that many. I'm probably just used to seeing banks all over the place, and not this one.

OP, did you go to their website and look to see where the locations are and how many?

Some of the info you've been asking about the last couple of days is really available faster if you just look it up yourself, versus posting here and having to wait for someone to respond. (and the answer may not be correct)

You could just Google the info. It's as simple as that.

If you think there aren't enough branches, try starting your own.

Another helpful answer.

Because Garden State Community Bank is a local (metropolitan area) bank. If you need branches nationwide, you will have to go to a megabank (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo). The mid-sized banks tend to stick to one-to-a-few regions of the U.S.A.

The good thing about credit unions is if your institution participates in the Co-Op Shared Branch network, you can have the nationwide footprint of the megabucks without the costly fees. (Double thumbs-up if they participate in the Allpoint, Co-Op, or Credit Union 24 ATM networks!)
