“Endeavor Bank calls their brand of banking consultative and as a CEO of a business, that's exactly what we needed several years ago when we had a partner exit. One of the key issues that we were facing was the financing of this buyout. Endeavor Bank didn't just make a loan, they actually served as a strategic partner with us in making this happen for both parties. to say Endeavor Bank was a partner in this transaction is not an understatement.”
Mike Ford, CEO of PBO Advisory Group
"Endeavor Bank put together a time-sensitive loan on favorable terms. They had the experience and ability to do something not every bank can do. The extra that Endeavor Bank gives - they call it 'Consultative' - is not the banking norm."
