When it comes to choosing a bank, we understand that you have options. A lot of options. But here is a list of some reasons we think you should choose a community bank.
- We know the area that you live in - the housing market, the businesses, the people. It's our home too and that puts us in the best position to help the whole community.
- We employ local people.
- Our money primarily stays local - lending in Putnam County makes up the majority of our loans.
- Personalized service. Because we know you. And you matter to us.
- Faster decision making. We don't have 10 different managers to go through before we can finalize that decision so everything happens quicker.
- No one likes a call center. When you dial our number, you're going to be answered by a real person. When was the last time you called Chase and got a human being on the phone?
- We give back to our community. Carmel High School Scholarships, Carmel Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, local youth sports teams - we want to see this whole town succeed and we help make it happen.
- Community Banks are the banking version of "Shop Local". If supporting small and local businesses is important to you, we're not only a true local business, we're also helping the other small businesses in our area with services and financing.
- Your voice matters to us. If you have suggestions, we're available to hear them and take them into consideration.
We're ready to show you the difference a community bank can make.
