AMERICAN BANK & TRUST
ANNOUNCES NEW IN-STORE BANKING VENTURE
American Bank and Trust announced today that they will be opening
an in-store branch at the new Hy-Vee Supermarket in Milan at 201
West 10th Avenue.
Mr. Harry Coin stated “Response to the retail store banking
concept has been exceptional nationwide. Our company wants to
maintain its reputation as an innovator in providing state of
the art banking convenience for our customers – both existing
and prospective. Our move into Hy-Vee will open new opportunities
for expanded service and market share. Toni Gasper, Vice President
of In-Store Banking will be leading the way for American Bank
& Trust.”
The new in-store branch will have drive-up service, a drive-up
ATM and a 2,000 square foot branch in the new Hy-Vee supermarket.
Toni comments, “We’re excited about this opportunity
to work with Hy-Vee. We’ve hired 5 knowledgeable, customer
focused employees to provide services to both existing and current
customers in the Milan area.”
American Bank & Trust’s in-store branch will offer customers
all of the traditional banking services plus banking hours 7 days
a week. Convenience has always been a primary reason customers
give for choosing their financial institution, and offering an
in-store branch is another way both the financial institution
and the retail store can provide convenient “one-stop”
shopping service.
The in-store will open with Hy-Vee in April. Watch for details
about its’ grand opening celebration and promotional activities.
