317) Exploring Growth Opportunities in Small Business and Community Bank Collaboration

Small business owners are frustrated. These courageous entrepreneurs contribute to nearly half of our economy, but large lenders have all but disregarded the needs of these niche consumers.

That’s why John Janclaes, President ofNymbus CUSO, says it’s time for credit unions to step up and partner with SMB owners to help them get their jobs done.  

In this episode of our Heart of Growth series, John brings the passion as the former contractor explains how community financial brands can guide entrepreneurs on a pathway to care.
