Team TRB: In the Spotlight 

Tree Lighting Ceremony

BankWork$ Graduation

Gene Tremblay, from our upcoming Park Cities location, was invited to be the guest speaker at a Dallas College Graduation Ceremony for their BankWork$ cohort. Tremblay delivered a charge to the graduates encouraging them to emphasize key skills such as customer service, problem-solving, attention to detail, and adaptability. “One of the most valuable skills in banking is truly listening to your customers,” said Gene. “Understand their needs, and you’ll not only meet their expectations—you’ll exceed them and build trust that lasts.”
