Heritage Bank knew Neal would be a good fit as soon as they learned about the Make A Difference Award another bank had given him for going above and beyond. His customer was returning to the area after a move he quickly regretted. Disabled with virtually no family or support network, the customer was vulnerable and in need of some extra consideration until he got back on his feet. Luckily, Neal was his banker.
While some bankers measure success by production, Neal measures success by the lives he has changed for the better.

After relocating to join his wife in her hometown, Ruben had a chance encounter with a bank manager who thought a bilingual guy with innate customer skills might make a good banker.
The manager eventually learned Ruben has a talent for numbers, and Ruben discovered the local Hispanic community needed bankers who understand their dialects and cultures. Today, Ruben has a built a large following of customers who entrust him with their banking needs.

Phone: (859) 472-7231 Fax: (859) 472-2310
|
Local community theater fans sometimes recognize Darin from his comedic roles in local productions, but his most loyal fans are the customers familiar with his banking talent. Some of his neighbors know him as DJ Hartbeatz whose mobile DJ business infuses life into local parties, but Darin’s bank customers appreciate the impact of his banking counsel on their financial lives.
It’s not every day you meet a banker who can reprise his favorite theatrical role on request, speak knowledgeably about the current hip hop and pop scenes, or calculate your anticipated interest savings over the next 15 years by repricing your mortgage loan. Then again, a community banker should be versatile.
