Our Idea
Is to give very courteous and painstaking service,
to get close to our customers, to have our custom
ers know us better , to have our customers know
that they can depend on what we say and also de
pend upon our ability to accommodate them. We
aim to do for our patrons things consisient with
good banking but that most banks do not deem ne
cessary to do. We want our customers to feel at
home, to come to our bank at their will, whether,to
s .
transact business or await a friend. We aim to give
personal attention to each account, keep strict con
fidence and offer real banking service.
