December 21, 2016 - Shelby Savings Bank hosted a groundbreaking ceremony in Chireno on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 for a new 'intelligent' ATM location.
Will Lucas, President of Shelby Savings Bank, said, "We want to thank everybody for coming out. We do appreciate you. We are excited to open up our new 'intelligent' ATM in Chireno." Lucas explained the capabilities of the ATM which he described as intelligent due to it not only dispersing money but accepting deposits as well.
Lucas then introduced Rick Campbell, chairman of the board, who spoke, "We certainly appreciate Chireno accepting us into this market and we look forward to doing all we can to help the folks in this community be a part of our community, we're a big family over there in Shelby County, well, of course we have a bank in San Augustine and one in Hemphill. Being a part of the community is something we strive at and we just want to say thank you for being here."
A member of the Chireno community spoke and expressed her appreciation for the bank stepping in after a previous bank in Chireno shut down leaving the area without any nearby options.
Shelby Savings Bank's main branch is located in Center along with a satellite location on the north side of Center, San Augustine, and Hemphill. The bank also has a Loan Production Office in Palestine.
