December 29, 2021

Alice Frazier, President & CEO

Our BCT team is grateful for the opportunity to live our founders’ original mission of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Growing Our Communities.”  During this our 150th anniversary year, we have been preparing an archival book to tell our story thus far.  Documenting our 150 years has taken us on a fascinating walk through time including the first recorded shareholder meeting on April 4, 1887, the grand opening of our current headquarters in 1967, our first drive-through lane, and much more.  As we uncovered each document and vintage photograph, we found that time and again BCT exemplified a commitment to positive and authentic customer experiences as well as comprehensive support for our community by providing our time and our treasures to the charitable causes that sustain the dignity of all.*   

And so, from all of us at BCT, please know how very grateful we are for your continued trust as we work to simplify the financial lives of you, your family, and your business.  

It is my purpose and commitment to foster a culture at BCT that provides a positive experience whenever you interact with BCT, both in-person and online.  In so doing, BCT’s promise for the new year is to continue providing personal, helpful, and easy banking services that will simplify your financial life.

I wish for you and yours a safe and successful 2022! 

With sincere regards,
