What is the mission of Persons Banking Company?
Our mission is to serve our local communities by combining
exceptional customer service with practical and flexible
financial products.
How did Persons take the lead during COVID-19?
Our COVID-19 response consists of three key parts:
1. Communicating to our clients that we are in this together
and will work with them to provide whatever banking support
they need to weather the economic storm. 2. Providing nearly
200 SBA PPP loans to help local clients meet payroll and other
expenses. 3. Remaining flexible so we can address client
needs individually.
What was the best business advice you ever received?
A former supervisor told a much younger me, "Adam, it
doesn't matter what you know if no one wants to listen to
you." Like most young professionals, I had spent more time
developing technical skills than relationship-building skills.
The advice helped me understand that building trust is the
foundation for all success.
What makes you a strong leader?
As the division president in Forsyth, I do my best to remain
scrupulously honest with clients and co-workers alike, and to
take responsibility for my mistakes.
You might not know: For a relatively small community bank
we have an excellent website and app!
