PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOANS APPROVED

Behind every number is a story.

FOR A BANK THAT REALLY UNDERSTANDS BUSINESS Zions Bank is for you. If banking were all about numbers, Zions Bank would be just another bank. But to us, banking is obviously much more than that. Because behind every single number are real business owners who were able to keep their doors open thanks to their recent Paycheck Protection Program Loan. And for The Shirt Stop in Richfield, Utah, it’s been one heck of a story. We believe that offering this level of attention doesn’t just make good financial sense — but it’s a smarter way for us to help our clients make better business decisions. The numbers don’t lie. And the real truth is, we’re ready to keep doing it. Like we’ve done in the past. And how we will in the future.

We’re thankful to businesses and others that are a daily inspiration to us. Visit: www.zionsbank.com/stories to see the full story.
