Finance (general) / Lema - slogan
Spanish term or phrase: BANCO XXX, EL BANCO DE TODOS.
Se trata del lema (slogan) de una institución financiera.
Lo primero que me viene a la mente es "the bank of all of us", pero no termina de convencerme. ¿A alguien se le ocurre una idea más creativa? Desde ya, muchas gracias. (Es inglés británico.)

Banco XXX. The bank of all.
Explanation:
I assume no official translation exists. If there is one, it should be used.

The Spanish slogan benefits from a double meaning -- the bank for everyone and the bank of all banks. If the slogan must be translated, it would be good to keep the double meaning.

Your bank! The bank designed for You!


Explanation:
Si te fijas "People's Bank" ya existe como nombre comercial de un Banco, por lo que no creo conveniente que se deba utilizar este slogan, ya que lo primero que piensa uno es en el otro banco.

Para que veas que ya existe como Banco, te adjunto algunas referencias:


Peoples Bank- [ Traduzca esta página ]As the only bank headquartered in Fleming County, Peoples Bank has enjoyed a long history as an independent, locally owned institution that serves all types ...

Otras opciones, a ver si alguna te convence:

The bank for each and every one (of you)!
The bank for every single one of you!
The bank that represents you!

Asker: Es justamente por esa asociación casi inevitable con la República Popular China que había descartado de plano la opción "The People's Bank". Tu comentario lo reafirma. Gracias, Smart Translator!
