PORTAGE COMMUNITY BANK

http://www.pcbbank.com

Portage Community Bank was founded on July 1, 1998 by a group of local investors who wanted to take big business banking that large institutions provided and transform the way of doing business into a bank whose products and services were tailored to meet the needs of Portage County residents.   Still locally owned and operated, founding CEO, Rick Coe along with founding executive officers, Kevin Lewis, Connie Bennett, John Forberg, Jim Shank and Jill Conard began the challenges of starting a bank.  They wanted to get back to the basics of serving customers face to face – not over the telephone.   With over 130 years in combined banking experience, their focus was to provide consumer lending, small business and commercial loans supplemented by consumer installment loans for cars and recreational vehicles as well as certificates of deposit, checking and savings accounts.
