Our Story

Vision & Values

We are a community–owned bank seeking sound growth and we are dedicated to increasing long term shareholder value by promoting excellence in performance. Our personalized banking services are geared to fulfill the financial objectives of our consumer and commercial patrons.

The spirit of community ownership is the centerpiece of our bank’s future success. Also, our bank’s success depends upon our ability to attract and retain people committed to teamwork, continuous improvement and exemplary customer service.

We distinguish ourselves by:

• Anticipating and exceeding the expectations of our customers
• Building sustainable partnerships with our customers
• Maintaining the highest standards of ethical business conduct
• Being aware of, and responsive to the needs and concerns of the community
• Always being mindful of the fact that customers have a choice

Because the associates in our organization are empowered to do what is right, every customer benefits from the personal attention and service commitment of owner–entrepreneurs. We believe the only way to achieve sustained growth is through the empowerment process that turns bosses into coaches, and structures and systems into nurturing and supporting tools. This culture will continue to foster team spirit and will promote exemplary customer service.
