A Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one bank to step forward and break itself from the unethical and widespread trends of its industry. Today, the employees of Independence Bank have declared it is time to take action.

It is the day that commemorates our country’s adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This is day that marks our legal separation from Great Britain during the American Revolution.

Revolutionary Riders

You may ask what makes Independence Bank Revolutionary... One thing that makes us Revolutionary is the way we go to battle. Once our cause has been established, we go at it with brute force and in a way that no one else would. In late September, we decided that our cause was to fight cancer and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life would be our beneficiary. We wanted to come up with a way to raise money and awareness for this cause that would also be beneficial to our employees. That is when the bike ride came into play. Our entireread more...
