Big Opportunities for Pennsylvania Banks

May 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Big Opportunities for Pennsylvania Banks

As gas workers arrive in Pennsylvania an almost immediate need is to open a bank account.  While almost all gas workers have direct deposit for their salary, their expenses are paid via checks sent to their Pennsylvania addresses or delivered to the field or regional offices.  
PAGasDirectory.com’s recent survey of gas industry employees shows that over 43% have already opened bank accounts and of those that have not opened an account another 33% intend to open a bank account.  The survey further revealed that their banking needs are the usual checking and savings accounts. Noteworthy was the fact that gas workers are also very interested in online banking and safe deposit boxes.
“The biggest opportunities are for the larger banks that have the largest footprints in the Marcellus Shale area.  In selecting a bank, gas workers are looking for banks with a larger number branches that are convenient for cashing expense checks as they travel throughout the state,” commented Joe Barone, President, PAGasDirectory.com
PAGasDirectory.com is the leading online directory that connects the gas workers with local Pennsylvania businesses.  The directory has over 116,000 Pennsylvania businesses organized on a county by county in the 53 counties in the Marcellus Shale area.  It is the web site where gas workers, their spouses, and families find local Pennsylvania businesses.
