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.
