Personal and Business Lending

Our banks are dedicated to helping you find solutions for whatever financial challenges come your way. Our residential and commercial lenders have helped hundreds obtain the financing they need to purchase new homes, refinance existing homes, boost existing businesses, or acquire new business locations. In addition, we can help with loans for home improvements, education, and more.

Because we are a local community bank and not a huge corporation, it’s easier for us to make timely decisions for loans without having to wade through red tape or frustrating bureaucracy.

Each of our loan options offers flexible terms and a quick and easy application process guided by a friendly experienced lender. Once again, being a part of the community, our lenders can tailor a loan to fit your needs:

• Consumer loans for debt consolidation and buying that auto, boat or RV
• Mortgages to make your home ownership dreams a reality
• Home Equity Lines of Credit to pay off high-interest obligations, fund home improvement projects, or other needs
• Commercial real estate loans for business owners to get started or expand their businesses
• Business term loans for equipment or vehicles
• Business lines of credit

All our loans come with personal service, quick turnaround and a variety of terms at competitive fixed and floating loan rates. Our lenders work with you to understand your individual needs.

Trust, Estate and Investment Services

We know it can be daunting to make long-term decisions and prepare for the future, but we have the experience to guide you through the process. From inheritance to retirement planning, there are a lot of major decisions to make. We have the experience to guide you through the process. Our trust administration and investment management services can help ensure that your assets are managed the way you want.

And we don’t stop there. Because our clients are also family and they trust us, we go above and beyond to further personalize our offerings with estate planning and investment management services.

One of our bank's customers, Dale Ritchhart, came to Florida from Illinois and established a trust relationship with us to manage his retirement funds:

“That’s the money for the rest of my life, and if something, unfortunately, were to happen to me, it’s the money for the rest of my wife’s life,” Dale says.

That’s the trust our clients have in us because they know we take our fiduciary responsibility very seriously. Our team will help you evaluate your options and get you started down the right path. Our three-step approach — listen, plan, and work — ensures your needs are addressed and everyone is on the same page ready for that next chapter.

Investment Portfolio and Document Review

We offer a complimentary review of your documents and investment portfolio so we can help you get on the right track. Our officers will let you know if they believe your portfolio doesn’t suit your needs. Our professionals also will review wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare-surrogate documents. Plus, we offer complimentary virtual and in-person seminars on a range of topics, including investment options, basic estate planning, wills, and trusts.

Clients Donna and Harry Hayman are just two of the many people who have taken advantage of the free seminars.

“We had been working with some large brokerage houses and some of their investment recommendations didn’t fit our portfolio,” Harry says. “The bank opened our eyes to a number of pitfalls.

“Go to one seminar,” he adds, explaining that “once you spend a little bit of time with any of those folks, you’ll be sold.”
