How has Pisgah Community Bank been successful since opening in 2008, given the current
challenges of the economy?
Our bank’s successful opening is the result of our team’s vision and passion for
community banking and the confidence in our business model by local shareholders.
Our commitment —“Big Enough to Serve You, Small Enough to Know You” — has been overwhelmingly
embraced by our shareholders and the community.
Pisgah Community Bank’s future success lies in the foundation of a strong, visible
and active board of directors and a veteran team of bankers who are committed to
serving the community in which they live and work. Our dedication to the Asheville
community is displayed by our commitment of time and resources to various nonprofits
and charitable organizations.
The involvement of several local business leaders on our board of directors has
been integral to our bank’s business development initiatives. Our board members
have enthusiastically promoted the bank in the community, which has generated numerous
new business relationships. Our bank’s commitment to developing relationships that
are deep and lasting have caused our new bank to experience solid loan and deposit
growth.
The endorsements from our community, shareholders and customers who wholeheartedly
support our vision for community banking promises to fuel our bank’s continued growth
for years to come. Our successful opening and early business development achievements
affirm our goal of building a strong hometown bank.
