Malvern Bank—the Official Bank of Dirt Track Racing—is back in 2017 as the Official Bank of the USMTS.

Last year, Malvern Bank President Jay Burdic and his staff were pleased that several USMTS drivers and owners sought them out for financing for haulers and other racing-related needs.

On top of contributing cash to USMTS special events and the season-ending points fund, Malvern Bank spends nearly a quarter-million dollars each season in dirt track racing across the region. This year, they're asking for drivers, owners, fans and others to choose Malvern Bank for their savings and deposits.

In 2017, they are offering a special promotion just for the racing community. If you deposit funds with them in a 12-month CD or similar program, they will pay a 2% return on your money with their exclusive "Dollars for Dirt" promotion for racers. Most CDs will earn you less than one percent and the highest you can find nationally is about 1.3%.

You can't get this deal anywhere else. You must call Jay at 888-624-8686 or email him at jburdic@malvernbank.com. Here's the kicker: You can choose to keep all of the bonus interest payment or use that toward a sponsorship of the USMTS or a USMTS driver if you choose (or you can keep it all for yourself). Malvern Bank does a lot for racers. Get in touch with them and see what they can do for you.

“As the Official Bank of Dirt Track Racing, we are extremely proud of our affiliation with the USMTS and we take our involvement very seriously,” Burdic said. “Racing isn't just a hobby to our bank. It is part of our long-term strategic plan. As many racers and fans have already experienced with our bank, lending is more than just tax returns and down payments. It's about relationships and understanding the culture of racing. It is this understanding that separates the Malvern Trust & Savings Bank from most other banks, and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of the greatest modified touring series in the United States.”

Malvern Bank is located in Malvern, Iowa—approximately 35 miles southeast of the Council Bluffs/Omaha metro. For over 65 years they have served the area as a true “community” bank.

Whether you’re nearby in Mills County, Iowa, or across the country, Malvern Bank wants the opportunity to serve the financial needs of those involved in the racing community. Let them put their personal service and responsiveness to work for you.
