Customer Testimonials


We are pleased to present a few of our clients and some of their opinions about who we are and what we do. It is this group, along with hundreds of others, that we owe the astounding success we have experienced during the past quarter of a century.




 
"Just like the insurance business, the most successful banks build strong

relationships with clients. Summit Bank generates results because the

staff actually delivers on their promise of building a personal, face-to-face

relationship with customers. They leverage that personal insight to offer

the services that help clients achieve their goals."

Jack Fritschi
President, Crist, Fritschi & Paterson
Founding Member, Summit Bank

 
  
 
"When I first started City Center Dental Spa, I knew it would be difficult

for a lot of people to understand our vision, much less provide the necessary

financial support to bring it to fruition. Summit Bank not only 'got it' but

they were willing to step up to the plate and help us deliver a homerun.

That kind of entrepreneurial commitment is a rarity among banks who

all too often forget that every great idea seemed at first an impossibility."

Judy Travis
CEO,  City Denter Dental Spa
 
 
 

"In 1985 I walked into Summit Bank for a meeting to discuss my business

plan with Shirley Nelson and walked out with the financing to open my own

practice. This sort of access and responsiveness distinguishes Summit from

other banks and makes them invaluable to customers like me who regard

their friendly, flexible service as an essential ingredient to the success of

any business."

"Summit Bank's strong, active leadership is focused on the local community.

At Summit, there is no bureaucracy, with layers of approvals designed to

marginalize the needs of the customer. They listen to their clients and

understand that each has different issues, requiring unique answers, to

design creative solutions for their financial growth and success."

Terence McGrath
President
McGrath Properties, Inc.
 
  

 
"Just like in basketball, achieving winning results in banking takes strong

communication and a solid game plan. Summit is the only bank I have worked

with that understands this and makes banking about more than just numbers,

but about building great working relationships with its clients."
