MYSTERY MAN REVEALED!! The World Now Knows THE TRUTH COMES OUT ...... You've seen our ad with the silhouette of Mr. H. Since that ad ran, people in the Joliet area, the State of Illinois, the nation and the world have been desperate to know who Mr. H is. People are no longer talking about inflation, the election or Covid. It's been Mr. H. It has been on all of the news channels - CNN, MSNBC, Fox and the others. Well, we didn't really see anything on those channels but we assume that it was discussed because this is humongous news. So, the guy with the smiling face is Steve Laken. Steve has been a banker in this area, not for years, but for decades. Steve is a loan officer's, loan officer. He has taken care of clients in the Joliet area for many, many years. If you want one person as a point of contact with your bank, Steve is your man. And now Steve is with our bank, and he's your man. You won't be assigned to a new loan officer every year or so. Our bank doesn't do that. (We don't change our name either.) So, if you work with Steve now, you'll work with Steve for a long time to come. Steve Laken So why is Steve at First Secure Community Bank? Easy. Because he is a community banker. No matter what institutions he worked for previously, Steve was a community banker. So it makes sense that he came with us. Because First Secure Community Bank of Joliet IS the Joliet area's REAL community bank. He wants to work at a bank that treats people as people, not numbers. He wants to work at a bank where decisions are made based on common sense, not some policy conjured up by someone that doesn't even know where Joliet is at. So, the long-time community banker is now at Joliet's REAL community bank. Makes sense, doesn't it? Doesn't it also make sense that you should consider doing business with Joliet's Billion Dollar community bank? Where a real person answers the phone, not a machine. Where we have enough real colleagues in our lobby so there is almost never a wait for a teller or banker. And where you are treated as a person, not a number.
