Mechanic’s Bank Provides Top-Notch Hometown Services

Founded in 1892 in Water Valley, Mississippi, Mechanic’s Bank has several locations throughout Yalobusha and Lafayette Counties, which provide top-notch customer service and a full array of mortgage, consumer, and commercial lending.

“While we have always served residents of Oxford and Lafayette County, our first Oxford branch opened in 1995 inside Larson’s Cash Saver,” Tami Tacke, Mechanic’s Bank marketing and advertising director, said.

As the oldest home-banking service in the two counties, Mechanic’s Bank now has assets totaling over $200 million. For over a century, the bank has made the quality of its products and services its mission.

“Our mission is to provide quality products and services to people that value relationship banking,” Tacke said. “While meeting our customer’s banking needs, we strive to exceed their expectations so that they will want to introduce others to our bank.”

A major part of Mechanic’s Bank notoriety in Oxford is its mortgage lending services. While the regulatory requirements for mortgage lending is substantial, each officer and employee is committed to making the lending process as straight forward as possible.

“When you are making what is most likely the largest investment of your life, a home purchase, you should have the option of meeting with someone face to face or at least knowing where they are if you have questions,” Tacke said.

Additionally, Mechanic’s Bank offers fantastic online and mobile services to make your banking simple.

With two locations in Water Valley and three in Oxford, you can be sure the fine people at Mechanic’s Bank are committed to serving you as well as the communities they serve.

“The bankers at Mechanics volunteer their free time with various charity and civic organizations,” Tacke said. “We are dedicated to making a positive impact through service and financially, especially in education and business development.”

According to Mechanic’s Bank, there are several charities that benefit from the time and money of their officers and employees, such as Lafayette and Yalobusha County school districts, Chamber of Commerce and Economic and Development Organizations, local lions, and rotary clubs, to name a few.

“The most important thing to me about Mechanics is the respect we have for our customers and our ability to do the right thing for the customer, not just the bank,” Tacke said.
