What Makes Us Different

A frequent question we hear is, “What makes you different from any other bank?”

Many people think that the only distinction between banks is interest rate – what they charge on loans or pay on deposits. And while most bankers say they want to be your partner, they neglect to share how that experience will look and feel. That’s because many times they define partnerships as an annual visit that’s prompted by your loan’s renewal date. 

Our relationships are more than rates and loan renewals. Here, you will experience partnerships with continuous dialogue and value.

You and your business will always know what to expect and the plan to make it happen. Your partnership with us means:

• Walking through a customized proposal that serves as the initial blueprint for our relationship.
• Connecting with executive management as they deliver our proprietary resources and tools.
• Knowing upfront who your lead banker is along with a support team of specialists.
• Receiving periodic mailings with articles or books handpicked by our CEO and our President.
• Taking advantage of training that keeps you on top of timely topics with actionable takeaways.
• Enjoying special events to thank you for your business and to network with other business owners.
  

What makes us different? Ultimately, it’s the commitment to our service and relationships that keeps us from being ‘just another bank’. It’s our focus on all the important things we do to make a difference for you.
