United Bank of Iowa

It’s election time! Every four years we get to cast our vote for the next President of the United States. Direction for our country will depend on who we, the people, choose to lead our country. It is a blessing we get to cast a vote and have a say in the process. Your choice and voice could make a difference!

Much like our elections, you get to choose where you bank. This, too, is an important decision and can make a difference in the direction of your operation or personal financial success. At UBI, our lenders strive to assist in your decision-making process when it comes to financing structure and choices. It is truly our mission “to create and maintain customer relationships” and do what we can to make you successful.

I want to focus on our UBI regional managers in this issue. This group of proven leaders not only has extensive knowledge and experience working with customers, they also serve as mentors in developing our staff for the future. I am very proud they represent UBI and are one of the many reasons “the difference is here”.

I’m excited to share that for the past few months we have been working on an upgrade to our Online and Mobile Banking platform. This upgrade will provide some added functionality and convenience at your fingertips, as well as additional security features to protect your financial information. We are on pace to roll this out later in the year, so watch for more information in the months ahead.

As I write this, fair season is wrapping up. I am proud to say United Bank of Iowa continues to support our youth at local county fairs in many ways, but namely by purchasing their livestock and investing in these future farmers. If you know of any young men or women who are interested in getting started in farming, have them ask a UBI lender about our Beginning Farmer Loan Program which has been very successful.

You may have seen the announcement of our plans to open a new location in Manning later this year. We look forward to joining a community with a strong agricultural base and vibrant and growing business community.

Our Harlan office will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this fall. They will be hosting a customer appreciation event at their office in early September. Stop in and congratulate Lee Schoof and the Harlan staff.

Thank you for being a customer of United Bank of Iowa.
