We want to thank our existing customer for their patronage and urge those who we hope to count as future customers to consider the benefits of banking locally:
- Personal Service - 66% of Americans want a more personal relationship with their financial institution
- Hometown Support - $68 out of every $100 spent at locally owned businesses stays in the community.
- Trusted Advisor - Community banks are the lender of choice for small businesses, above large banks, credit unions and nonbank lenders.
- Local Credit Decisions - Community banks consider character, family history and discretionary spending when making loan decisions.
