Statement of Vision
It is our goal to be the dominant community bank in Wake, New Hanover and Carteret counties. We will be known as the "Bank of Choice" for professional firms, professionals, community association management companies, churches, nonprofit organizations, and individuals who value a mutually beneficial banking relationship. In addition to those areas mentioned, we will specialize in serving the needs of medical, dental, accounting, and law firms and practices.
Our customers will appreciate the convenience of a small, but effective network of full-service office locations along with cutting edge e-banking capabilities. New offices will be established with a "footprint" similar to our original locations, and the number of such locations will be driven by our need for generating core deposits and serving our best customers and our community at large, as well as our ability to attract the best market executives in the primary service areas.
We will serve our customers through highly qualified and motivated banking professionals, and be the "Employer of Choice" among local community banks. Our team of employees will continue to adhere to our Core Corporate Values:
- Integrity - Always being worthy of the trust placed in us.
- Hard Work - Being responsible, committed and passionate about our work.
- Fairness - Always striving to do what is right for our shareholders, customers and fellow employees.
- Teamwork - Forsaking selfish ambition for the common good.
- Consistency - Staying focused on who we are and what we do best.
We will provide this team of employees with a rigorous, but not ruthless, work environment. Leadership will be leveraged with excellent management systems and processes, resulting in a lean, efficient organization.
