Mr. Pell spoke of the merger with Inez Deposit Bank that took place about 30 days ago. He gave a history about Inez Deposit Bank and the new exciting things he was going to bring to the bank.
Some of those things include mobile banking, internet banking, consumer checking, car loans, small business loans and residential mortgages which will include Freddy Mac and other federal types of loans.
The routing number will stay the same as everyone has time to cycle through their existing checks with Inez Deposit Bank. All account numbers should remain the remain the same, if any have to change it would be only a few.
The meeting wrapped up with introductions from members of the Rotary Club all welcoming Mr. Pell to the area and expressing their excitement for the new things to come.
