ASHEVILLE, N.C., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With the United States holding the G20 presidency, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent made the bold and historic decision to invite private-sector leaders, including Citizens Bank of Edmond, a 125-year-old community bank from Oklahoma, directly into the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors discussion. By bringing Main Street and Wall Street to the same table, Secretary Bessent showcased one of America's distinctive economic strengths, a banking system that enables institutions of every size to contribute to growth, innovation, and opportunity.
Secretary Bessent's vision of Parallel Prosperity, where Main Street and Wall Street grow together, recognizes that durable economic growth depends on people having the capital, confidence, and opportunity to start businesses, create jobs, invest in their communities, and build better futures for their families.
At Citizens Bank of Edmond, we know that consequential ideas begin closest to the problem. Sitting in our bank lobby, listening to customers, and understanding their challenges firsthand has shaped how we lend, how we serve small businesses, and how we invent. ROGER, Citizens Bank of Edmond's digital military bank, grew from that proximity, demonstrating how an idea born in Oklahoma can expand financial access, improve the financial well-being of military members and families, and strengthen military readiness.
The future of our financial system should harness the distinct strengths of institutions across the entire system. Institutions closest to their customers bring proximity, ingenuity, and agility, while the largest bring extraordinary capital, technology, and reach. Our conversations in Asheville reinforced the opportunities created when those capabilities come together. The best ideas can begin anywhere, and collaboration can take them everywhere.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are creating the conditions for Main Street businesses to invest, compete, innovate, and grow. When we expand opportunity for the people building businesses in communities across America, we strengthen our economy and extend the promise of American prosperity for the next 250 years.
When Main Street grows, America prospers and the world is stronger for it.
