Security Bank Setting the Standard for Customer Care Security Bank believes in the preservation of local community banking. For customers, that means having a valuable long-term banking relationship with someone they can trust and depend on. For employees, it means working in an environment where they feel valued, appreciated and supported. For Security Bank leadership, it means investing in the financial growth and success of people and our local community. “Security Bank stands on a simple principle: help meet the needs of people with genuine care and respect,” says Security Bank CEO Dawne Stafford. “We do this well because we value the traditional community banking model: know your customers. When a customer partners with Security Bank, they gain a personal banker and a team of experienced and committed people, working together to meet needs, solve problems and exceed expectations.
“We have loyal, dedicated employees, which allows customers to build long-lasting relationships with bankers who are here year after year and able to fully understand their individual needs and challenges.” says Security Bank President and Chief Lending Officer Tom Gay. “We’ve built loyal customers because we provide personal attention and consistent, reliable service.” Security Bank’s strong performance, even during tumultuous years, places it among the most competitive financial institutions in the Tulsa area. Locally owned and operated, Security Bank has the advantage of flexibility, local decision making and oftentimes quicker loan processing which could spell the difference between a successful project and a lost opportunity for business owners. “We are not just lenders lending money,” Gay said. “We are sounding boards, here to offer guidance and support to help our customers and local business owners solve problems, identify opportunities and plan next steps in their business goals.”
