SUCCESS STORY: BUSINESS BANKING

A bank that understands local businesses.

Real Estate Broker Owner, Mary Kelly, of Property Central Inc., was looking for a bank that had convenient locations, better hours and more services to meet her growing, local business needs. Northern Bank fit that bill.

BUSINESS BANKING CHALLENGE

"The reason I was shopping for a bank was mainly convenience,” Mary explained. “As a real estate broker, I’m on the road every day meeting with clients and often need to stop by a branch while I’m out to make transactions. If my bank doesn’t have branch locations in the towns I serve, I end up wasting a ton of time driving around.”

"I also wanted to do business with a bank that knows me and understands my business,” she continued. “Relationship building is very important in any business and I want to partner with a bank I can build a long term relationship with.”

THE NORTHERN BANK SOLUTION

"It seems no matter where I am during the day,” Mary said, “there’s a Northern Bank branch close by and they’re open longer hours than other banks.”

“They also have an easy to use mobile app, that gives me another convenient option if I can’t get to a branch. All those things save me time and make my job easier. I love the fact that I can just pick up the phone and call the team I work with at Northern Bank and get what I need. Northern Bank does the lending for a lot of my commercial clients too and they make a difficult process easy.”

A Growing Partnership

“I have been doing business with Northern Bank for years now, she explained. I not only have my business accounts with Northern Bank, I also have commercial loans including my business line of credit.”

"Northern Bank has supported the growth of my company.”
