How has Brighton Commerce Bank established a base for the continued sound development
of the bank?
Our associates’ keen understanding of the Brighton community, their involvement
in the organizations that keep the community strong and prosperous and their unwavering
work for the bank, both internally and in the community, have all contributed to
Brighton Commerce Bank’s success.
If knowing the customer is an important rule for safety and soundness in banking,
then understanding the community is an important characteristic of a successful
hometown bank. Our associates continue to build on their local knowledge by staying
active with the community schools, municipal governments, chamber of commerce, realtor
association and the United Way. Our team meets with numerous prospective customers
to learn about various proposed economic development projects while participating
in community activities.
Our professional staff has extensive knowledge gained from their banking careers
that they share with customers and management. They also do their homework by reviewing
the necessary financial documents ahead of time so that they can make informed decisions
about the various business proposals the bank may help finance.
By taking a vested interest in the community, which assists in making informed business
decisions on loans, products and services, our associates contribute significantly
to the ongoing success of Brighton Commerce Bank.
