Bankers Call To Service

“We went to war. We did the job that was asked of us. We did something for our country and now I am asking our country to do something for us…that is to help implement the Senior Crimestoppers program throughout this great land of ours.”
– William “Bill” Hansford, Resident of the Oklahoma Veterans Center in Norman , OK
I know there are plenty of banks across the country that will embrace this opportunity to serve our veterans in such a tangible and meaningful way. It is good business but more importantly, it is the right thing to do.
– Edward Yingling, President & CEO, American Bankers Association, Washington , DC
