In today’s fast-paced world, most of us spend around 2.5 hours a day on social media, connecting with friends, getting the latest news updates and learning about new products and services. It’s no surprise that Heartland Bank has chosen to use social media as a means of connecting with YOU and the community at large.

Why follow and engage with Heartland Bank on social media? Here are four benefits to consider:

1. Staying Informed About New Products and Services: By following us on social media, you’ll be kept up to date about any of our new products, services, promotions or events. This will allow you to make informed decisions about your finances.
2. Responsive Communication and Customer Service: If you have any questions or issues regarding your banking needs, we are just a comment or direct message away on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. You can expect quick responses and personalized attention to address your concerns. Remember: Never include any personal, confidential or account information in your posts or messages!
3. Building Community Relationships: We often use social media to promote our involvement in community events. Participating in these events helps us feel more connected to the community and with our Heartland Bank customers.
4. Access to Tips and Educational Resources: We provide educational content on social media about managing finances, saving for retirement, how to protect your personal information and more. These resources are helpful in making sound financial decisions.

Following Heartland Bank on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube allows you to remain connected with the institution that has become such an integral part of your life. The lessons you learn from this experience show just how valuable following a community bank on social media can be.
