Welcome to Brighton Bank!
Over the past 45 years, the focus and mission of Brighton Bank has remained unchanged, to provide the communities in which we reside with an exceptional banking experience. This comes by offering sound financial products coupled with the wisdom of friendly, seasoned bankers. As a locally-owned community bank our goal is to help small businesses, families and individuals attain their financial goals with peace of mind knowing their resources are safe and secure. From the very beginning our success has been dependent upon the success of our customers. Together we grow and prosper.
During the past year there has been significant unrest and uncertainty. Rising inflation has impacted nearly every business and household, political rancor has seemed to intensify, and international unrest has cast a deepening shadow of distress. The Federal Reserve has taken unprecedented measures to stem the rise of inflationary pressures by aggressively increasing interest rates at a pace not seen in over 40 years. This appears to be having its desired impact on inflation but has also created some unintended consequences. Due to the rapid escalation of interest rates some larger banks have experienced distress and in some cases failure. Through all this turmoil, I am pleased that Brighton Bank has been able to maintain a strong and sound financial position.
No one knows what the future will hold. There remain challenges, threats, and uncertainties; however, I am confident in the undaunted spirit of our employees, our customers, and the citizens of this great State. Whatever comes, we will face it together and work to improve the lives of everyone. I give you my assurance that Brighton Bank will be here to provide those financial services necessary for us all to succeed.
If you are a customer of the Bank, I thank you for your trust and confidence. If not, I ask you to consider becoming a part of the Brighton Bank family.
