When asked what community and Exchange Bank meant to Heather she said, “We are known as one of the only true Community Banks and I believe we are. When I think of community, I think of neighbors helping neighbors. Friends helping friends and family helping family. EXB is present in our community. We are there for Etowah County. Being the Branch Manager at Noccalula, I can truly say I want what is best for my customers. I live, work and play on Noccalula Mountain. Noccalula customers are my people. They are my neighbors and my friends. EXB is there for each customer’s triumphs and their set-backs. We help each customer make good financial decisions through the good and the bad times. I am proud to be a part of a company that cares for its community. I feel we are the definition of community, helping, supporting and always being there for whoever walks in the door.
