Independently owned businesses drive Charlotte’s economy. And for too long this so-called small business sector has been an afterthought in the financial scheme of things. Many banks claim to serve them with special departments or automated credit programs. But small business is not their sole reason for being.

Bank of Commerce is different. The needs of independently owned companies and professional firms are at the heart of everything we do. Our bank is here to nurture and support small business, their owners and employees, not just to make financial transactions.

We started with seasoned business owners to serve as our board of directors. They guided our start-up and the development of our products and services like state of the art on-line banking and courier services.

Next, we added veteran business bankers, who work with an owner to determine the best financial approaches and are empowered to make lending decisions. They also can share ideas on how to run and grow a business.

Finally, we will find ways to link our customers into a mutually beneficial network of like-minded business owners. Bank of Commerce will help share the expertise of its board members, professional advisors, staff and customers through our website, e-newsletters and seminars.

We have a passion for small business, and we will do whatever it takes to enable our clients and their employees to achieve success. Give us a chance to help you run, grow and finance your business.
