Our Essence

Our Essence is the fundamental expression of who we are and what makes us unique. 

Our Essence is further defined by Our Purpose, Our Pillars and Our Values.

Our Purpose

There’s a wise saying, “When you find the answer, it will be simple.”  After a great deal of discussion and analysis, Our Purpose became clear and, well, very simple.

Our Purpose is to enrich the lives of our teammates, customers and neighbors.

Our Pillars

Our Pillars help define how we are seen in the marketplace.

Exceptional Teammate Experience means being a great place to work, where personal goals and dreams can be realized and teammates are fully engaged and passionate about what they do.

Dedicated Community Involvement means committing dollars, resources and people to the causes that we believe make our community a vibrant, healthy place to live, work and play.

Ultimate Customer Experience means the customer comes first in regards to our products, hours and locations; we will provide seamless delivery of all products and services by placing decision making and accountability in the hands of every teammate.

Nontraditional Approach to Banking means we will not be constrained by how it has always been done or by what others do; we will zig when others zag, as we are always evolving, recognizing that what is nontraditional today could be come traditional tomorrow.
