Community Bank

Community Bank offers big bank services and economies of scale while maintaining the advantages of being a true, local community bank with exceptional customer service.

Community Bank is a group of separately chartered banks that operate independently but share services within a common holding company. Unlike most banks which have a central office that dictates policy to branches, this structure gave Community Bank the best of both worlds — pooled resources that can afford expensive technologies and services and local decision makers empowered to act with the community in mind.

The underlying theory in this business model is that good people in a happy workplace are the most effective instrument a bank can have in generating income. This philosophy is one of the reasons Community Bank was named one of the “Best Banks to Work For” by American Banker magazine.

Community Bank also prides itself on creating community leaders in the areas it serves. Bank staff is encouraged to be involved in local activities and given the freedom to do so easily. Community Banks participate in their communities in ways no other chain banks do. Staff members coach Little League teams, serve as volunteer firemen, work with local chambers of commerce, sing in church choirs, give to local charities, host senior activities, and preside over civic clubs. You will find them in their neighborhoods helping to build a better community.
