Bradford National Bank and the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting at the bank’s Centralia facility to mark the completion of its merger with Community Trust Bank.
The merger of Bradford Bancorp, Inc. and Community Bancshares, Inc. was first announced last September and completed this January.
Bradford National Bank President Michael Ennen addressed employees and community leaders before the ribbon was cut.
“Excited to be in Centralia and feel the town has a lot to offer and we have a lot to offer the town as a bank. Happy to partner with them however we can and help people out however we can.”
Later, Ennen said they looked forward to bringing more services to the Centralia area.
“We will have enhanced services. We have a lot more to offer to business clients and individuals as well. Have a whole host of technology to meet really every facet of needs. We can do what Rocket Mortgage does on mortgages, its all online and a very streamline process. You don’t have to see us unless you need us. We are always here and want to provide the best of both worlds.”
The bank’s Community Relations Director Randy Alderman says you’ll also see the bank very involved in community activities.
Centralia Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Marcus Holland welcomed Bradford National Bank to Centralia and thanked them for the investment and support they have already given to the community.
