Our mission is to provide superior financial services and products to the businesses, individuals and communities we serve. Our organization is a result of our community's desire to have more than one locally owned and controlled commercial banking option. Our success will be achieved by our unwavering efforts toward: 

Building relationships by providing responsive, personalized attention to our customers, and by focusing on deepening our relationships through broader, more comprehensive product choices delivered with a commitment to service that reflects an understanding of consumer and small business needs. By providing fast simple solutions without complicated procedures we will exceed our customers' expectations.

Gaining partners by providing a working environment that will attract and retain the best people as part of our team, knowing that they are invaluable assets and are critical to our success.

Building shareholder value through our commitment to community banking, focusing on the needs of the market place and relying on the vision of our Board of Directors and Shareholders to foresee and fulfill those needs.

Improving our communities by being an active, responsible and generous member of the communities we serve.

Being locally owned and controlled insures that this community's funds are reinvested in the growth and development of Sault Ste. Marie and the neighboring communities we serve, as well as providing long term, stable employment opportunities for current and future generations. Fulfillment of these commitments is the true definition of a Community Bank.
