When you
don't know
your bank's
new name,
do you think
they know yours?

We believe that there's a need for a real
community bank in Oakland County – a bank
where the directors, shareholders, and employees
all live in the same area as our customers.
We've created a bank where customers can
come in at any time and talk face to face
with the people who make decisions, not get
forwarded to bureaucratic loan committees in
remote locations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop
and maintain banking
relationships with
customers who truly
value exceptional service.

Soundbites To Savor

• IRWIN COHEN: "We sat on the front porch for entertainment. That was
our den. That was our family room during nice weather. And the people
upstairs sat on their front porch right above us. And we would just look
across the street and watch the people on their front porch and they would
do the same."

• JERRY COOK: "My grandfather didn't write home for five years, because
in Europe they thought the streets were paved with gold here and he
couldn't admit how poor he was and he couldn't be sending any money to
them. We have letters written in Polish and in Russian asking him why he
isn't sending funds to the poor members of his family. He didn't reply. He
couldn't admit that he was that poor."

• ZINA KRAMER: "For those of us who loved Mumford, which is not every-
body, but it's certainly a lot of us, it was a magical place that we look back
at and there's a connection between people who went to Mumford that's
really very hard to explain. You see somebody, you talk to somebody who
went to Mumford. You may not have seen them for 30 years, 40 years, and
you still feel that immediate connection – that we were all people who went
to Mumford at a very special time in Mumford's history."

• BARBARA KRATCHMAN: "The fun part about growing up then was our
community really basically lived in a few different areas and we would
almost go down the street and you'd know everyone who lived in every
house. You'd ride your bike wherever you went. We used to ride our bikes
to Livernois and Seven Mile Road of course, and have lunch at Billy's and
there were the times when we would take the streetcar. We lived right near
Woodward and we'd take the streetcar all the way downtown."
