Issaquah Community Bank opened its doors for business in July 2007 as the 53rd member of the Capitol Bancorp family. Our bank’s debut represented the culmination of efforts on the part of the bank’s board members and staff to create an enduring community bank to support the businesses in the greater Issaquah market.
| Each of our board members is a valuable resource… |
It is the goal of Issaquah Community Bank to become a significant part of the fabric of our community. With that in mind, we recruited board members who are well established in the community, yet represent a diversity of business and social allegiances. Each of our board members is a valuable resource in developing new constituents for the bank and strengthening the community we serve.
Our staff personifies the bank’s motto each and every day. “Relationship banking with a personal touch” characterizes the value we place on each customer we are honored to serve. Our experienced bank professionals provide the leadership and creative resources that help to differentiate Issaquah Community Bank from other financial institutions in our marketplace. Their knowledge and expertise provide a valuable resource in marshalling the growth of the bank.
It is our goal to establish Issaquah Community Bank as a cornerstone of our community. We want the bank to be viewed as an organization that cares and a valuable resource in supporting local business. Since the bank was launched last summer, we have already been active in supporting various civic activities, including our local Chamber of Commerce’s major festival. We acknowledge the value of building these relationships, not only because they help publicize our bank and lead to new business opportunities, but also because we are fulfilling a genuine need for businesses to become involved in our community.
With the valuable resources made available to us through our affiliation with Capitol Bancorp, Issaquah Community Bank is poised to be the agent of positive influence within our community. This is an exciting opportunity which we all embrace.
