What Banking Local Means to the People We Serve 

Thanksgiving is a time to say thank you. This year, we want to say it to you. Croghan Colonial Bank has been helping good people make good decisions since 1888. That work happens one relationship at a time, with neighbors who choose to bank with a community bank like Croghan. Here are a few of the customers we’re grateful for, in their own words.

Thank You for Letting Us Help When It Matters Most

Some of our most meaningful work happens during a family’s hardest seasons. Amy D. shared this about our Curtice team: 

“There is nothing like small-town bank service! The staff at the Curtice location have been phenomenal in helping my dad when his dementia set in and helping me manage his money from afar. Jaime was the biggest help to us!” 

Thank You for Staying With Us Through the Years

Some of our customer relationships span decades. Severend P. put it this way: 

“I’ve had a solid relationship with this bank for more than 20 years, which is longer than any car that I’ve bought with their help.” 

 

When J. Andrew Bailey moved to Port Clinton, he was looking for a bank he could trust: 

“After moving to Port Clinton, I was trying to find a new bank that I felt like I could trust. And I must say, Croghan Colonial Bank was the perfect pick! Upon meeting the Branch Manager comfort and trust was found! The entire process of opening the account to leaving took about 20 minutes.”

Thank You for Planning Your Future With Us

Our Croghan Trust & Investment Management team gets to know clients and their families over many years.

“I thought I was going to be working until I was 70. After talking with them, I was able to retire at 66 and six months. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.”

“They were very good at explaining everything so we could understand it. We’re not up on all the financial lingo, but they brought it down so we could understand, and it made us very comfortable.”

Pat was happy enough with the experience to refer a friend.

“I was very happy with how I was helped by my financial advisor at Croghan, so I referred my friend to Croghan Trust and Investment Services. He was extremely satisfied with how he was helped. He also brought his wife in to speak with a financial advisor. Now they both have investments with Croghan and are extremely satisfied customers.”

Joe Left a National Firm to Come Here

“With the other firm I felt like I was just a number. I had to reach out to them for information, and it was either very slow coming or not coming at all. When I sat down with the Croghan wealth management team, they took the time to understand my wife and me, our likes and dislikes and our goals, and we built a plan around that.”

“The national firm was a lot of glitz and glitter. In meetings they were just throwing numbers at me and looking at national averages. I wanted to know more about where I actually live.”

Thank You for Building Your Business With Us

Local businesses are the heart of the communities we serve. When James Gao relocated SERVPRO of Huron & East Seneca Counties to Tiffin, he wanted a more local bank to work with. 

“Croghan is a breath of fresh air after working with other competing institutions,” James said. 

James is one of many business owners whose stories appear on our Testimonials page. You’ll also meet a Toledo company that found a new downtown home, a Fremont veterinarian growing his practice, and a third-generation family steel business. 

 Looking at the Year Ahead

Banking local means you can call and talk to someone who knows you. It means working with people who live in the same communities you do. And it means having a team in your corner when life changes. 

Thank you for choosing Croghan. We’re grateful to serve you, and we look forward to the year ahead. 

Have a Croghan story of your own? We’d love to hear it.
