TOWN & COUNTRY BANK OF SPRINGFIELD DONATING $150 FOR EACH HOME EQUITY TO LOCAL AREA SCHOOLS!

Beginning April 14th through June 13th, 2008 Town & Country Bank of Springfield will run a Home Equity Promotion to benefit local schools.  During the promotion Town & Country Bank will donate $150 to a qualified Home Equity customer’s school of choice.  Any customer that closes a new Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit of at least $10,000 is eligible for a $150 donation back to their school of choice.  Customers with an existing Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit, who want an increase of at least $10,000, are also eligible.

“Our goal is to become a community partner,” said Mike Houston, President of Town & Country Bank of Springfield, “and what better way than to allow our customers to tell us where they want the school donation to go.”  District 186 as well as local parochial and magnet schools will be eligible for the donations.  Dr. Walter Milton, Jr., District 186 Superintendent, is excited about the donations to the schools, “We are grateful to Town & Country Bank for their interest in education and their willingness to make resources available,” he said.

With rates as low as 5.69% APY*, the promotion comes at a great time.  Home improvement season is here – so is vacation season and a Home Equity is a great way to pay for both.  Home Equity is also a great way to pay off high-interest credit card debt and lower your monthly payments.

To apply, stop by any branch with a coupon from a school flyer, the local paper, or our website (see below ) and apply for a Home Equity.  Once your loan is closed Town & Country Bank will send the school donation on your behalf (applications must be received by June 13, 2008 to be eligible).  It’s as simple as that.

*Annual Percentage Rate. The APR assumes you have a Town & Country Bank checking account with one of the following: Auto Pay, Direct Deposit, Online Banking or a Visa Check Card. This APR also assumes a minimum loan amount of $10,000 with maximum loan to value of 90%.  Different APRs apply to amounts less than $10,000 and loan to values over 90%. Offer ends June 13, 2008 (applications must be received by June 13, 2008 to be eligible).

LOCAL BANK EXPANDS ATM NETWORK THROUGH LOCAL BUSINESS

Town & Country Bank of Springfield, Town & Country Bank - Buffalo, Forsyth & Mt. Zion, and Logan County Bank have formed a partnership with Qik-n-EZ convenience stores to expand the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) network for the Banks' customers.  Beginning April 1st, all transactions at Qik-n-EZ ATMs will be free to customers.  The additional ATMs will make banking easier for customers and more than doubles the network of ATMs in the area.

We recently surveyed our customers and they overwhelmingly wanted more ATMs.  Therefore, we found a way to provide them with more by forming a partnership with another local business. We are always responsive to what our customers want and need.  Because we are a local bank we have the flexibility to make our own decisions regarding products and services.
