The Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce recently presented MainStreet Bank with the
2009 Mid-Sized Business of the Year Award.

The Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce is the largest Chamber in Fairfax County and the 5th largest within the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. 

We take great pride in receiving this award, because it means that in spite of all the recent negative press heaped upon banks, our local business peers recognize the partnership we have with the communities we serve, and they see that we are being good corporate citizens.

In challenging times, it is easy to justify dialing back on a company's level of community involvement.   But these are the times when it is most important for a business to "lead" by example.

As always, we're interested in your thoughts. Give us a call or click here: feedback@mstreetbank.com

If your small business is stressed meeting expenses during these economic times, the U.S. Small Business Administration has a new loan program designed just for you.  SBA's America’s Recovery Capital Loan Program can provide up to $35,000 in short-term relief for viable small businesses facing immediate financial hardship to help ride out the current uncertain economic times and return to profitability. Each small business is limited to one ARC loan. 

MainStreet Bank’s Small Business Lender, Chris Lipscomb, is able to discuss the requirements of this type of loan which can be a source of short-term financing for small businesses that have been negatively impacted by our struggling economy. 

ARC loans will be offered by many SBA lenders for as long as funding is available or until September 30, 2010, whichever comes first. 

Contact Chris today if you have questions at (703) 218-5174 or email him at clipscomb@mstreetbank.com.

MainStreet Answers

Q. I'm travelling with my family to Europe this summer, what is the best way to access foreign currencies while we travel?

A. The best and safest way to travel is when you minimize the amount of cash you carry, regardless of the currency.  Your MainStreet VISA debit or credit card both work great while travelling, and the currency conversion cost that you will incur is substantially less than if you convert funds at a currency exchange center. 

And, if you are travelling to the UK, you can go to our website to look for one of our 2,500 FREE UK ATMs.  Just look for the Allpoint Logo
