Community First recognized by Chamber Program!We are proud to share with you a recent letter submitted to the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce for their “Hidden Gems” program which gives residents the opportunity to provide positive feedback about experiences with local businesses. We are very proud to have been recognized by Shirley Sallee.Please read her letter below.

In a recent newsletter from Senior Circle of Crossroads Hospital asking the members to write about a great experience with a local Jefferson County Business, I was torn between two businesses. I immediately thought of Community First Bank.

However, when I considered which employee was outstanding I could not choose just one. All the employees I have dealt with at the bank are outstanding!

Therefore I am writing to let you know of my reason for writing.

From the President, Vice President, Loan Officers to Financial Advisors including the tellers at both the Mt. Vernon and Ina banks the employees are very professional, courteous, and friendly and go the extra mile for their customers. A lot know me by name.

This is the reason I continue to bank with Community First Bank of the Heartland.

As we look forward, we see opportunity for our bank and Jefferson County. Because of our financial strength and stability, we have built our bank the old fashioned way, through hard work and prudent decision making. We have rejected government funding while continuing to operate our bank in a safe and sound manner while serving the banking needs of Jefferson County.

We have committed capital towards hiring proven banking professionals, development of banking services and a new branch to serve our Woodlawn market. We continue to look for opportunities to better serve our customers with a local community banking approach that is quite different from the approach of our larger competitors. It is safe to say that across the Midwest “Community Banking” is doing well while larger banks have suffered with the risky decisions they have made.
I would invite you to come in and let us show you the difference in banking with Community First Bank of the Heartland. We are excited about Mt. Vernon, Woodlawn and Ina and the Jefferson County market which we call home. “Welcome Back to Personal Banking” is more than a tag line…..it’s the truth.
