The Face of Business Banking: Security Bank
Security Bank’s approach to banking is about personal connections. They have become a trusted name in the local business community because they treat their customers like family.
"We know our customers, their friends and their families, just like they know us,” says Shelby Peters, Universal Teller. “They tell us their hopes and dreams, and in turn, we try to help make that happen.”
In an advancing automated society, Security Bank is committed to preserving the community banking culture where live interactions matter. Whether it’s a call or a visit to the bank, people know they will encounter familiar faces and engage in meaningful conversations.
“Our customers are trusting us with their finances and livelihood,” says Marilyn Boone, Receptionist. “Making each customer feel welcome with a friendly greeting and a listening ear is important to me, as it allows me to guide them toward the solution that best suits their needs.”
For the past 25 years, Security Bank has been growing alongside its customers, forming bonds, building trust and investing in people and the community. Whether it’s helping a new business owner secure their first loan or a mom-and-pop shop planning an expansion — and everything in between — business owners know they can rely on Security Bank to be close by and ready to help when a need arises.
“We want our customers to feel comfortable to come and talk to us,” says Joshua Cole, a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Commercial Lender. “Whether they’re sharing about a recent family trip or expressing a concern at the office, open communication is important to us. We want them to know we do listen and that we are here to help them think through their next move.”
As Security Bank looks to the future, their commitment remains the same: people first. Real connections, meaningful relationships and dependable service — experience the Security Bank difference.
