SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS


What makes American Nation Bank different? Why has ANB continued to grow with a level of success unsurpassed in our area? Stop by or call any ANB location and experience the ANB difference. A live person answers the telephone, friendly faces greet you when you walk in the door, and the comfortable and inviting atmosphere is evident immediately. ANB is a bank that genuinely cares about their customers, communities, neighbors and friends.


ANB was one of the first in the nation to offer a “No Penalty” Certificate of Deposit and offers an array of products and services to serve their customers’ needs. ANB’s Eagle Travel Club is a guided travel and entertainment program for customers and their guests and provides outstanding travel opportunities throughout the US and abroad.


Community support and involvement is very evident and another priority for American Nation Bank. In 1995 ANB


initiated the ANB Scholarship in which the bank awards scholarships to graduating seniors in the areas they service. Students graduating from Ardmore, Comanche, Dickson, Lone Grove, Plainview, Ringling, Springer and Wilson in Oklahoma and Keller and Saginaw, Texas schools are invited to apply for the ANB Scholarships. Since the inception of the ANB Scholarship, ANB has awarded $261,000 to area students. New for 2016 was the ANB “Pays for A’s” program. Grade 6 through 12 students in Oklahoma and Texas may bring their official report cards to their most convenient American Nation Bank location and get paid for each “A” they receive on their report cards. In addition to this, all graduating seniors that have participated their senior year in ANB’s “Pays for A’s” program are automatically entered to receive a $1,000 ANB “Pays for A’s” scholarship. One ANB “Pay’s for A’s” scholarship will be randomly drawn each school


year. American Nation Bank hopes that the ANB “Pays for A’s” program will help give students additional incentive to strive to do their best to earn A’s on their report cards and encourage graduates to continue their education through college or tech schools.


In May 2016, American Nation Bank was listed as among the top 27 best banks in America in the publication “The 27 Best Banks in America, And Why You Should Care” by John Truman Wolfe. BauerFinancial, an independent financial rating service, awarded ANB again with another 5-Star (highest) rating for strength and stability. These star ratings are current based on September 30, 2018 financial data. American Nation Bank is rated as one of the safest in the country.


ARDMORE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS


The New Year is upon us and that means reminiscing of the great things 2018 had to offer. Last month we wrapped up our 11th annual coat drive and were able to present over 600 articles of warm clothing to the Grace Center. Thank you to all that donated to such a wonderful cause!

We held our 12th annual Stuff the Backpack drive this year. AYP donated 1,000 backpacks to the Grace Center and created supply closets for all five school districts that touch Ardmore. We would not have been able to do this without the generous donors and volunteers. The introduction of our financial


series was a huge success this fall and we look forward to offering more events in the spring.


It is my honor to introduce the 2019 AYP President Bregan Heitz. Bregan moved to Ardmore in 2015 and has been on the AYP board for the past 3 years. He is a Commercial Lending Officer at Landmark Bank. Bregan is married to Crystel Heitz and they are expecting a baby girl in May. In his spare time Bregan likes to hunt, fish, and play board games.


As this year comes to an end, I look back at my time as AYP President and am very


appreciative. AYP has had a very successful year and big things are in store for the future! AYP now has a Program Manager. Casey Huff joined the team this month and will now be the eyes and ears of the organization. Reach out to her at chuff@ardmore.org and let her know how AYP can help benefit your business.


2018 AYP President
