Abstract: This study investigates how local banking competition, local trust in the banking system, and local socioeconomic situations affect the performance of small banks. Using a comprehensive dataset of bank branches in Poland, bank financial results, and local market socioeconomic features for the period 2007–2015, we find that small local banks, thanks to the specificity of their business model, gain a competitive advantage over their opponents in a difficult local socioeconomic environment. Moreover, we find strong tail effects in the relationship between location and local bank performance.
