Will Branch Banking Increase Credit and Competition in Rural Communities?

David L. Barkley and Glenn T. Potts

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 01, issue 3

Abstract: Neither branch banking nor unit banking offers clearly better service to rural areas. Branch banks (one bank, many offices) seem more competitive than unit banks and may make a higher proportion of their assets available for loans. Unit banks (one bank, one office) may be more attuned to the special needs of their areas. Contrasting situations in Arizona and Colorado are examined.
