President's Letter

First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to look around our website. We know and understand that your time is valuable. That is why we have worked to make our website more useful and value added. Your business is very important to us. In fact, your satisfaction is our number one priority. When you come into one of our bank lobbies, our employees will greet you by name. When you call any of our locations, the phone will be answered by a live employee, not an impersonal automated menu system. Our employees are committed to providing great service for our clients. If you have any questions about your account, all the answers are right here. That is because we are locally owned and locally operated. We are the only Bank in Greater Lafayette to have this distinction.

So, why does it matter? Simply put, we are completely invested in your hometown. All four of our locations are located in Greater Lafayette to help make it more convenient for our local customers to do business. For our business customers, we know how important your time is, that is why we offer electronic banking, as well as a secure courier service that will come right to your door to pick up your transactions for processing at the bank.

We make all of our decisions here in Lafayette, from loan decisions to charitable sponsorships. We know this community well, because we live here and we work here. Since all of our employees, management, and ownership are here in our community, we can respond to our customer needs quickly and effectively. If you call us, you get to talk to one of our associates. If you have a question about your account, you talk to someone right here in Lafayette, and you get answers immediately. Community support is a big part of who we are, so much so that we have a "Community Rewards" program that allows you to choose your charity, and we will give back a percentage of what you keep in the bank to your favorite charity.

At Lafayette Community Bank, you are an individual, and we promise to work hard to understand your financial needs and respond with solutions that benefit you. We seek to become valued consultants where your financial services are concerned. If you are a business owner and you require access to credit enhancement programs, we are the bank for you. We are approved by the Small Business Administration to offer SBA Guarantees for all types of business loans, including asset based working capital lines of credit.

We opened our doors 10 years ago to the Lafayette Community and you have shown us your trust and appreciation over the years by banking with us. For that, we are very grateful. The future of the Lafayette Community is bright, and the opportunities are unlimited. Together we will build a great future. Lafayette Community Bank is completely invested in your hometown.

Truly,

Bradley W Marley, President and CEO.
