In a very difficult financial environment, what drives Black Mountain Community
Bank’s continued success?
Black Mountain Community Bank delivers quality products and services with a high
level of attention that exceeds our customers’ expectations. We also create a pleasant
work environment that encourages staff members to stay with us. These go hand in
hand.
Our employees use their training and maturity to make sure that the products we
deliver are the best solutions to satisfy the specific needs of each individual
customer. Our focus has always been to get the job done efficiently, while maintaining
the quality and integrity of our single largest asset, the loan portfolio. From
the beginning, we grew the bank at a slow and steady pace, without compromising
quality. Our plan was to build this business to last. For my part as the bank’s
founding president, I recruited the best bankers I knew and then let them do their
jobs.
Deposit gathering in today’s economic environment; however, is difficult and costly.
Equally challenging is providing quality loans with acceptable pricing. We are dedicated
to the solution to this challenging environment, which is providing a new generation
of high-tech banking products that can generate additional income for our bank.
