From the onset, First Landmark Bank prepared its business plan to model a conservative, steadily growing commercial bank serving a niche market within its community. Bank management made a strong commitment to local businesses and the community through raising deposits within this market area and contributing monetary and service donations to local non-profit organizations. Due to the poor economy and loan problems, many banks have pulled out on their lending and amount of time they can spend with their clients. First Landmark Bank is in a fortunate position to have both money to lend and time to consult with business owners on their business strategy and loan needs to help meet their goals. In addition, the quality of personal service at every level and having all decision makers in one location also differentiates First Landmark from the competition. Through a partnership with a progressive data processing firm, clients are now able to access the latest in online banking, online bill payment, cash management and remote deposit capture, meeting the needs of clients at every level. First Landmark Bank has enjoyed the best of both worlds―offering the latest in banking technology and tried-and-true personal relationship banking, and will continue to be a strong presence in the community for many years to come.
