Jimmy Tallent Focus Quotations

The fourth quarter was outstanding for deposit growth. We added $281 million of deposits, nearly doubling the level needed to fund our strong loan growth of $144 million. Our relentless focus on the highest level of customer service has generated customer satisfaction scores that continue to exceed 90%, well above the comparable industry average of 75%. This is invaluable in building deposits through customer referrals while also maintaining and growing long-term relationships with existing customers.
