Community Bank proudly considers themselves experts at business relationship banking. Bixler said the relationships they develop with their clients is what sets them apart from other financial institutions.

“I live and work in the community. I see my clients when I’m out in the community. I visit their businesses. They can call me directly when they need something. They have my cell phone number,” Bixler said. “That really makes all the difference.”

Shelia Cowieson, senior vice president market executive at Community Bank, said that they understand what the community – and local businesses – need to succeed, and that knowledge helps to build and sustain the relationships they create with clients.

“We’re at a point where we’re large enough to offer products and services that larger banks offer, but small enough to listen to our clients and customize and offer products that they need,” Cowieson said.

Cowieson said Community Bank works to simplify banking for their small business clients.

“We’re a one-stop-shop,” she said. “Once a relationship is established, we become a part of that client’s business. We help them accomplish their financial goals.”
