Stories of Success from LoweryBank:
Mayor James “Jimmy” Thompson Sarah Warburton oes your bank know you by name? When you walk through the front door, do they greet you and offer you a cup of coffee? At LoweryBank you can get a “hello neighbor” greeting and a warm, welcome feeling...together with a full array of personal and commerical services and products such as online bill pay, safe deposit boxes, a twenty-four hour ATM. That’s why Sugar Land Mayor James “Jimmy” Thompson says, “I have several banking relationships, but I do all my personal banking at LoweryBank. Just like Sugar Land, they’ve got all the amenities of any world-class location...but with a smalltown, family-friendly feel!” A native Texan, James A. “Jimmy” Thompson graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University and was a United States Air Force C-130 pilot from 1970 to 1979.

We can’t imagine any better place to raise our kids–– Michael, Tara and Meredith––than right here in Sugar Land.

cial presence. Mike Dinges started working there and, based on my personal relationship with him, I started banking at LoweryBank. I really enjoy working with them, have been extremely satisfied with the service, and look forward to many more years with them.” Mike’s lived right here in Fort Bend his entire life, graduating from Dulles High school and even serving three terms as Mayor of Fulshear. He says, “Mayor Thompson and I both understand how community banking helps local families and our local businesses. I grew up here in Fort Bend, and I really believe in the power of building relationships. That may seem old-fashioned in today’s fast-paced financial world, but our goal is to combine convenient banking with real customer service.” That’s exactly what Mayor Thompson likes about LoweryBank. He says, “When you walk though the door, you’re recognized and greeted. I know if I pick up the phone, I’m not going to have to punch my way through an hour’s worth of automated responses or get transferred a dozen times to get answers. They’re good people who really deliver a warm, personal experience. Who knew that banking could be so pleasant? I really like my bank...and that feels great!” LoweryBank, MEMBER FDIC 281-263-1100 16555 Southwest Freeway, Ste 100 (between Methodist Building 3 and Floyd’s Cajun Seafood & Texas Steakhouse) www.lowerybank.com
