Oakland Commerce Bank has been helping entrepreneurs, businesses and consumers in Oakland County grow and prosper since 1992. Our experienced and dedicated staff offers swift and personalized service which, combined with local decision-making, have been the hallmarks of our bank for nearly 14 years.

We continue to expand our products and services to better serve our clientele. For example, our bank last year earned the prestigious Preferred Lender Program status with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and closed our first SBA loans, helping several small business entrepreneurs succeed in reaching their growth goals.

Our bank reported strong earnings in 2005. At the same time, we strengthened our staff with the addition of several experienced professionals to better prepare us to meet all challenges for years to come.

In recent years, our management team has made a commitment to rededicate the bank to the community by sponsoring meaningful, high-profile charitable events that benefit deserving children and families throughout southeastern Michigan. Our community involvement was evident last year with our support of two such fund-raisers on popular contemporary radio stations. These sponsorships are introducing our bank to a whole new audience as we increase our bank's visibility in the community.

I am one of several staff members to join the bank in 2005 as Jim Kaye transitioned to Macomb Community Bank. My career spans more than 30 years in Farmington and Oakland County. I look forward to working with our staff and board as we build on our tradition of providing outstanding service. New ideas and new team members will allow our bank to build on our existing relationships and add new ones.
