Kevin's thoughts on the Yuba-Sutter area and Sutter Community Bank
"We started Sutter Community Bank to improve the quality of life for our customers and our community. We are an "old fashioned" community bank. You can sit down with the person making the decision on your loan or helping you structure your deposit accounts. We take pride in doing what is best for you and the bank. It is important to have a local banker that you know and trust."

Russ' thoughts on the Yuba-Sutter area and Sutter Community Bank
"What I like best about the community are the people. I believe they are very generous and the amount of time, energy and funds that they have donated to meet the needs of this community, is absolutely amazing! I also believe that this is a small community, regardless of the number of people that live here and I say that wherever you go, you will run into friends. My kids claim that everybody in town knows me, and I tell them to remember that, because if they ever got into trouble, I would know before they got home!
Opening Sutter Community Bank has been a real learning experience. I knew banks were regulated, and to a high degree, but I did not realize how much regulation there was when you start up a new entity. Seeing the bank open after over 18 months of my involvement was a great feeling."

"It has really been both an enjoyable and educational experience working with the bank so far.
Regarding the area, I enjoy the small town feel that the community has and I like the fact that there is no city traffic to deal with, and therefore there is no smog and very little pollution."

Growing up in the Yuba-Sutter area and now doing business here, I feel established in the community. I also like the fact that the community is large enough to have conveniences and yet small enough to be personal."

Rob's thoughts on the Yuba-Sutter area and Sutter Community Bank
"Whether in a small community or a large city or a community our size, competence and customer service are keys to building a strong business. Banking products may be the tools but the people are the craftsman on how to use them. Our employees are second to none in knowledge, customer service and experience. Starting with the Chairman all the way to the front line banking staff and throughout the bank we expect to earn your business. And we are good at that. Come in, meet the staff, you won't be sorry."
