As we commemorate our 10th anniversary in the county, we remain committed to providing exceptional financial services and building lasting relationships with our customers. The opening of this office, along with our recent growth in Huntsville, demonstrates our dedication to being built to serve, not to sell.”
The new office, located at 11254 County Line Road, marks the second Bank Independent location in Madison. Kristen Strickland is the Sales Officer for the office, while Cynthia Webster will serve as the Sales Leader.
