Our Culture
Community banking is a commitment to providing accessible, localized banking solutions driven by heart for creating thriving neighborhoods in the areas we serve.
You have options but there is more to a career here than what is in your job description! When you choose us, you get more than a paycheck. You are part of fun events, have access to senior leadership, and are encouraged to dive into causes that reflect your values. You are encouraged to step up and get involved. Many team members serve on civic groups, community boards, and support non-profit agencies. We receive 8 hours of paid volunteer time.
