MEET OUR STAFF-Employee Spotlight of the Week! We would like to introduce you to our SVP, Chief Lending Officer, Jim Cronauer. Jim started with MCB in September of 2011, making this fall his lucky 13th anniversary with the Bank! Jim has had over 37 years of banking experience with a 2 ½ year break working for a defense contractor. He was previously Pennsylvania Banker’s Association’s Commercial Lending School Director, both in person and remotely due to COVID-19. He was the only Director to do both. Throughout his career, he has also been the Chairman of PBA’s Annual Lending Conference also, both in person and remotely. Jim enjoys fishing while keeping a log of every trip documenting weather conditions, fish caught, lures used, etc. On consecutive days earlier this year, Jim recorded a personal best Largemouth Bass. This big boy weighed in at 6 pounds, 8 ounces! The next day, Jim recorded a personal best (brown) Trout measuring in at 30 inches long! When Jim is not out on the stream, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. All three of his kids reside in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina; therefore, Jim and his wife spend a lot of time there. Jim currently serves as the Vice President of the Portage Area Economic Development Association. After a bit of a slow start to 2024, Jim expects this year to end well. Jim states that “we are now starting to see the results of our core conversion and the positive impact it has had on our earnings. Also, our net interest margin is starting to improve. These two important factors, as well as the efforts of our entire Bank staff, will help us achieve our budgeted net income for the year.” #career #customerservice #financialsolutions #communitybanking #future #community #lending #deposits
About us
Marion Center National Bank opened its doors during the summer of 1905. These one hundred plus years have seen many landmark events. When President Roosevelt ordered all banks to close on March 4, 1933 for the “Bank Holiday,” MCNB pulled its door blind down half way and continued to operate. This earned the local bank the reputation of “the bank that did not close during the depression.” Following this tough economic time for the United States, Marion Center National Bank continued to prosper and change. Structurally, the Marion Center office changed twenty-five years later when the “caged in” teller areas were removed and a single drive-up lane was installed. The drive-up was a first for any Indiana County bank. Later, in 1979 the multiple drive-up banking lanes were installed. Expansion and reorganization often follow change. The opening of a second office of Marion Center National Bank and the inception of the Community Bankers Corporation evidences this. The Clymer office was opened for business on December 6, 1984 and the holding company was formed May 1, 1986. November 8, 2012, an opportunity to expand our branch footprint presented itself and we opened our eighth branch in Hastings, PA. This branch was opened in a temporary "store front" location on Beaver Street and operated for 20 months while a permanent location was being built also on Beaver Street. A grand opening was held June 28, 2014 to welcome our new building to the community. The addition of this office now allows Marion Center Bank to provide services to the Indiana, Armstrong, Jefferson and Cambria Counties. *Marion Center Bank is an Equal Opportunity Employer
