Whether you’re a business owner or the CFO at a growing company, it’s often challenging to find a bank that delivers personalized financial support. Gathering insights and recommendations from trusted colleagues or notable organizations in Eastern Ohio is useful when you’re evaluating options.

Our team spoke with Andy Troutman, owner of The Winery at Wolf Creek, to get his perspective about partnering with Consumers National Bank.

Here’s why Andy chose Consumers for business banking:

I have been a business owner and in the wine business for 25 years and have had experience with a number of big banks over the years. I felt like we were just a number in their system, and the products and services we were offered never seemed to fit our business.

It wasn’t until I switched to Consumers that I saw the advantages of a community bank. They are easy to work with and have strived to develop a relationship with us. The people at Consumers have taken the time to understand our business, our needs, and what we value as a company. They have tailored banking solutions for us, whether for routine sales operations or financing a new project.

I feel like they are a vital partner and key to the success of our company.
