- 4:32Speaker 2: to find. We also have an app as well for
- 4:34Speaker 2: customers to use, so you.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Know, those are the those are pretty spiffs. I like
- 4:39Speaker 1: those because all you have to do instead of reaching
- 4:43Speaker 1: in your wallet to see if you got you know
- 4:45Speaker 1: how your phones are going, you just go click right
- 4:47Speaker 1: through on your phone and hey, looking good, that's right good.
- 4:51Speaker 2: We can see exactly how much money you got in
- 4:53Speaker 2: your bank that way.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I got gas and groceries coming today, so yeah, that
- 4:57Speaker 1: is really neat. It has changed quite a bit. For
- 5:01Speaker 1: the longest time, banking pretty much stayed the same, but
- 5:04Speaker 1: over the past twenty years it has just been on
- 5:08Speaker 1: steroids as far as making it convenient meeting people where
- 5:12Speaker 1: they are. I mean, we live in a twenty four seven,
- 5:15Speaker 1: three sixty five world, always have really, but business now
- 5:19Speaker 1: flies that way, and commerce now flies that way, and
- 5:22Speaker 1: even retail in some cases flies that way.
- 5:25Speaker 2: It does, especially.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Especially those folks who'd like to go through the Amazonian
- 5:28Speaker 1: in the middle of the night and ordering things and
- 5:30Speaker 1: the next thing you know, you got boxes on your
- 5:32Speaker 1: front port. You want to know that, you know you've
- 5:35Speaker 1: got funds available to make sure all that gets taken
- 5:39Speaker 1: care of it. You can do that right there on
- 5:40Speaker 1: the horn and of course you know on the website
- 5:43Speaker 1: that'll take you anywhere you want to go to. One
- 5:45Speaker 1: thing I like about it is that I don't get
- 5:47Speaker 1: lost because there are websites I can go to, and
- 5:50Speaker 1: I guarantee you it doesn't take much for you to
- 5:52Speaker 1: get lost, you know, but I don't I click point
- 5:57Speaker 1: boot there, quick, convenient, plain English. Nothing there that's you
- 6:02Speaker 1: know written that you have to have a you know,
- 6:04Speaker 1: two or three doctorates to understand for sure.
- 6:07Speaker 2: We try to make it easy and convenient for all
- 6:08Speaker 2: the customers that way.
- 6:09Speaker 1: I like that. So you're hitting them where they live
- 6:12Speaker 1: all the time.
- 6:13Speaker 2: That's right, yes, And we like to make sure, like
- 6:15Speaker 2: you said, you know, we want to come to where
- 6:17Speaker 2: you know, our people are and they like that convenience factor.
- 6:20Speaker 2: So that's what we're trying to be there for.
- 6:22Speaker 1: And we can and with the app, we can do
- 6:24Speaker 1: a little banking online. Can we do most of it online?
- 6:27Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do a majority of it. You can
- 6:28Speaker 2: you know, deposit your checks on there if you would
- 6:30Speaker 2: like to. You can you know, manage your card to
- 6:32Speaker 2: make sure it's working properly for you. You can make
- 6:35Speaker 2: sure that you know you're not being frauded or anything
- 6:37Speaker 2: at all times that way. So we have a lot
- 6:39Speaker 2: of good safety measures in place for it, and.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Grant, can we get maybe the preliminaries out of the
- 6:44Speaker 1: way for perhaps applying for a loan online as well.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have a tab online on our website
- 6:50Speaker 3: that'll allow you to go through and start processing your.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Information to apply for a loan. And then you come
- 6:56Speaker 1: in and so you shake your hand and walk away happy.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Yes, sir, or you can just come in and see
- 7:00Speaker 3: me anytime.
- 7:01Speaker 1: All right, Well that's good too. You know, I'd rather
- 7:03Speaker 1: kind of, you know, get that taken care of so
- 7:06Speaker 1: I can focus on what we're talking about. But folks
- 7:09Speaker 1: do things a variety of different ways, and that's why
- 7:12Speaker 1: we have options and opportunities, that's for sure. Yeah.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And we've also seen, you know, like we kind of
- 7:17Speaker 2: mentioned a little bit last time, you know, we really
- 7:19Speaker 2: notice that, you know, this new generation that's coming in,
- 7:21Speaker 2: they really like to come inside the bank and you know,
- 7:24Speaker 2: interact with somebody one on one that way.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Uh huh. Very good, Very good. So you're easy to find.

- 7:34Speaker 2: zers there three.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Four two two South Dewey Avenue rhymes. It does, it does.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And if you get lost, look for the price tower.
