Presented to only one of the bank’s 13 banking centers at the company’s annual STARS event, this honor spotlights outstanding customer service, and overall loan and core deposit growth.

The STARS event is an evening full of celebration organized to thank, reward and celebrate the bank’s 160 employees for their exceptional performance throughout the previous year.
