Meet Our Team

Our Treasury Solution folks are here to serve your business needs on-site, online and on-demand.





You're undoubtedly an expert at what you do...but banking? Maybe not so much. And that's ok. Our Treasury Solutions team was created to serve and support your business banking needs so you can focus on other things. Our experts will get to know you and your business so they can provide just the right combination of products and services, including:


  • Checking, savings and other deposit accounts,
  • Loans and credit cards,
  • Cash management solutions,
  • Merchant services (including cutting-edge technology),
  • Online and mobile banking tools,
  • And more.
We'd like to introduce you to the team who brings the bank to you with on-site consultations, training and ongoing support--even outside the typical "bankers' hours." It's a lot different than what you'll find at a big bank...and that's exactly the way we like it. Tailored solutions from Treasury Solutions.
