For many small businesses and women-owned small businesses in Central Oklahoma, having a partner bank that not only offers the services a business needs, but also treats entrepreneurs like family, can make the challenges of running a business that much easier.
More than 48 years ago, Quail Creek Bank started serving the unique needs of the Central Oklahoma community. The bankers know each person by name and provide the guidance customers need to achieve their financial goals.
Unlike the sometimes cold and distant “national” banks, Quail Creek Bank is truly a partner for women-owned and minority-owned businesses because the bank’s goal is to uplift its customers and its community.
“Our primary focus is to support our communities and small business. . owners in Oklahoma City. We help them by providing loans to either expand or start a business, to purchase buildings and equipment, or to finance large projects or contracts,” said Erin Batey, CCIO & SVP of Quail Creek Bank.
“We also offer a full spectrum of deposit products that business owners need to manage day to day operations including electronic payments, collections, mobile deposits, online reporting, and positive pay to name a few. ”
Unlike some of the larger, mega-banks, women-owned and small businesses can see the difference the moment they come through the doors. The Quail Creek staff know theircustomers by name, and with 85+ people in the building, there are plenty of advocates available to help.
“We still have a switchboard operator intentionally because we don't want to force our customers into a call center or phone queue. . We want you to talk to a live person so we have actual humans in our building who are here to help you with anything you need,” said Batey.
We value that personal connection and we are here to help you accomplish your financial goals .”
“ In addition to our direct business lending programs, we also partner with the Small Business Administration which allows us to offer more flexible terms and conditions and extend credit in that situation when we might not otherwise.”
Quail Creek Bank also offers business checking accounts, including a basic small business checking account that is free to business owners. Then as the business grows, additional products can be added such as direct deposit for payroll , help with collecting accounts receivable, credit card acceptance services and more.
“We love working with businesses because they are the lifeblood of the Oklahoma City economy. Those small businesses create jobs, and that’s vital to the success of our economy,” Batey said. “We were founded to support business owners and consumers in Oklahoma City and that continues to be our mission today.”
