Lines of Credit
Revolving Line of Credit
A revolving line of credit provides funds to meet your specific cash flow
needs. Borrowers can draw funds on this credit facility, repay the amount
drawn and re-borrow as needed. Revolving lines are not intended as
permanent financing and are subject to renewal on an annual basis.
Construction Line of Credit
Borrowers can draw funds from this credit facility to meet the progress
payments normally associated with a construction project. During
construction interest is billed monthly on the funds drawn. When the
construction is completed, lines are usually turned out into monthly payments of
principal and interest.
Floor Plan Line of Credit
Borrowers can draw funds to purchase inventory intended for resale from their
floor plan line of credit. This allows you to take advantage of discount
terms on big ticket inventory items. Repayment is
generally monthly interest only and principal payments when a floor planned
inventory item is sold. Curtailments may be required for items that are
not sold on a timely basis. Floor plan lines are subject to renewal on an
annual basis.
Letters of Credit
Irrevocable Letter of Credit
A letter of credit is an irrevocable and unconditional promise by the bank to
pay a third party. It serves as assurance that the account holder will
fulfill its contractual obligations. Typically a letter of credit is used for
a specific time period and used instead of a cash deposit or performance bond
to help facilitate a business transaction, construction project or logging
operation on public land.
Auction Letter
An auction letter is a letter of introduction for a bank customer to attend a
specific auction. The letter guarantees that checks written by the Banks
customer, for purchases made at the auction, print will not be returned for
any reason.
Business Services We offer the professional commercial services you expect from a “big bank”
while maintaining the convenience and service that only a local bank can provide.
