Our clients will have an opportunity to access additional services with the resources, tools and integrated platform that LPL Financial provides. This relationship expands our ability to serve current and new clients, giving us the ability to help impact the financial lives of those in our community.”

Four advisors provide wealth management services, including Pete Welsh, senior vice president, Trusts and Investments, Lisa McClyman, Laura Stanek and Jennifer Kinzler. They share in the bank’s mission to empower their community by providing sophisticated, tailored advice and a detailed plan to help clients pursue their individual financial goals. “In a nutshell, we believe LPL’s focus supporting financial institutions is exactly what we need,” Welsh said. “LPL provides a full-service offering that includes the support and technology that will help us be better positioned to serve our clients.”

Craig Kamis, LPL Financial executive vice president, Institutional Business Development, said, “We have been a leading third-party investment services provider to banks and credit unions for over a decade and that is because we provide our financial institution partners technology and product platforms as well as the expertise to help them capitalize on the unique opportunities inherent in their organization.
