When Alec Shellabarger, president and CEO of Arcon Builders, Ltd., needed a bank that was ready to move when he did, he knew it was time to look local. Learn more about what brought Shellabarger to bank with Greenville Federal, both personally and from a business standpoint, for the past 5 years.
Flexibility and Agility From Greenville Federal
Arcon Builders has provided full-service commercial and residential construction services to the Miami Valley and beyond since 1985. As a family-owned business, they sought flexibility and a bank that worked to meet their needs – but they weren’t getting what they needed from a larger bank.
“Our previous banking partner was purchased and became a part of a larger corporate bank with no local headquarters. Local branch managers had to get corporate approval to make decisions, making it hard for us to make quick moves that benefited our business,” said Shellabarger.
He added, “The corporate bank is good for large corporations, but it’s not set up as well to support small family-owned businesses.”
After choosing to bank with Greenville Federal, the process became much smoother, and Shellabarger was able to meet in person with a team that understood his business.
“John, Annette, and their team have supported our team very well, from being a lending resource for our residential clients, to maximizing the return on our investments, and providing the backing needed to support our capacity and give us the ability to continue to grow,” Shellabarger said.
“A question never goes unanswered, and they make themselves available in times of need. They have become a part of our team,” he added.
From Business to Personal Banking
After working with the bank from the business side, Shellabarger also chose to work with them for his personal banking needs as well. The bank supported him not only in purchasing a new home, but also with selling his previous home.
He said banking with Greenville Federal has been a simple process that is built on personal relationships and trust.
“Their team is responsive, easy to work with, and they genuinely take the time to understand your situation instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions,” Shellabarger said. “What really stands out is the level of service. You can actually get someone on the phone who knows you and is willing to help. That kind of relationship and reliability is hard to find, and it has made a real difference for us.”
