Our main branch, located in downtown Alamogordo, has an interesting history. The bank began its operations in a small remodeled doctor’s office on the same site where we are located today. Although it’s been renovated several times, the original structure is incorporated in the interior of the current building, adding a charming historic reminder in today’s fast-paced world. Our mission statement:
1) For our customers-We will serve our customers in select markets in ways that exceed their expectations.
2) For our Associates-We will create a dynamic working environment that encourages teamwork, life-long learning and a sense of pride and personal fulfillment.
3) For our community-We will provide value to our communities through leadership and service.
