“The success of Sunrise Bank is attributed to outstanding leadership. We have the flexibility to endure change while always focusing on enhancing customer relationships. This has made our bank consistently profitable.”

- Michael R. Allen, Bank Director

We understand that people bank with people and not necessarily a particular financial institution. That’s why our dedicated and talented staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to deliver the highest level of customer service to “bring the relationship back to banking.” We are optimistic about 2005 and will make every effort to reach each and every client in our market.

We continue our focus on serving clients with real estate lending needs. Through residential lending, conventional commercial lending and Small Business Administration (SBA) lending, Sunrise Bank of Arizona customers benefit by dealing with a community bank that understands the local market.

Sunrise Bank of Arizona has also been a good steward of the community. Our employees volunteered time and resources to support the efforts of Junior Achievement and the Arthritis Foundation.

In addition to our fine performance, our highlights include our smooth transition to a new management team and the expansion of our board of directors. Over the past year the bank welcomed five new board members. Collectively, the board is composed of individuals from different disciplines, and this cross-section of the business community helps the bank to respond timely to various matters, including customer loan inquiries.
