Many of Paragon Bank & Trust’s current customers founded the bank in September 1990.
How can this loyal support, with deep roots in the Holland community, provide a
competitive edge to expand business?
For the core group of our bank customers, Holland will always be home. This city
has long been one of the great financial centers in West Michigan. Paragon’s wise
founders created a local financial institution where they could not only secure
their savings but also invest money for their future.
This smart financial philosophy is now shared by banking customers throughout Michigan
and across the continental United States. Specifically, Paragon Bank & Trust professionals
are now available to provide customers throughout the Capitol Bancorp Limited network
of individual banks with access to a broad array of trust and investment management
products and services. Such support includes financial planning guidance, employee
benefits support, asset management advice as well as a complete array of other trust
and estate services.
The reputation of Wall Street firms is a paramount concern for many of our individual
and business relationships causing them to think twice about who is advising them
on managing their wealth. Paragon Bank & Trust is uniquely positioned as a full-service
bank with trust services and, from a safety and soundness standpoint, is able to
guide its customers in the effective management of their money by utilizing experienced
staff.
