ICBA’s National Community Bank Service Awards is a moment to celebrate the community banks that have stepped up for their communities in significant ways.
As nimble problem-solvers, community banks have had to change course, adapt, and lean-in to their communities to solve for the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has presented for customers, small businesses, and communities.
In 2021, ICBA updates its award program to include three awards:
Exceptional Community Bank Service Award: awarded to a bank who developed the service program three or more years ago
Emerging Community Bank Service Program Award: awarded to a bank who developed the service program less than three years ago
National People’s Choice Award: voted on by community bankers and customers (video submission required)
Award submissions accepted
April 1 – May 7, 2021 (Submissions No Longer Accepted)
National People’s Choice Award voting
April 1 – May 31, 2021
We are no longer accepting video submissions for the National People’s Choice Award. You can vote on National People’s Choice Award through May 31, 2021.

This year, all community banks have faced a huge challenge in the COVID-19 pandemic. So, instead of highlighting a few winners, this year we are honoring all community banks. Here, we share just some of the many inspiring stories ICBA members submitted.
