We focus on celebrating communities, connecting with people, and building the future.
When most banks discuss what they’re all about, they tend to toss around terms like “assets,” “deposits,” and “customer service.” We care about how we can help you, your family, your business, and your neighborhood.
The way we look at things dates back to our beginning.
The focus then and now continues to be on local communities, local businesses, and local decision-making. In short, first-class service that treats customers as friends and neighbors instead of account numbers.
Many decades later, we’ve grown bigger. We’ve added locations, products and forward-thinking digital platforms to make our customers’ lives more convenient. But some things will never change – our unique approach to community banking.
"Products and services are virtually the same. We win on community every single day. "Tammy Bobo, President & CEO
