“I needed a business loan to expand marketing efforts and provide future growth for our financial advisory practice. West Town Bank proved to be willing to listen to my needs and provide just the right kind of loan to get us to that next level. West Town never felt like a big soulless corporation but has always felt like a small town bank despite the fact that I have never been to their office and have only spoken with them over the phone or e-mail.”
