During the past two years, Buckeye Community Bank has made significant moves to enhance its presence, emphasizing its dedication to local relationships and community empowerment.
Over the last few years, Buckeye has embarked on an exhilarating journey to deepen its roots in the community, making a series of bold strides that underscore its unwavering commitment to fostering genuine relationships and nurturing community development.
Amidst a landscape where big out-of-town institutions loom large, Buckeye stands tall with its local-first philosophy. Following its announcement to introduce “The Buckeye Way of Banking” to a broader audience, the bank delivered on that promise with four new sites:
- Buckeye Main Branch: Opened in February 2024 at the corner of North Ridge Road and Lake Avenue, Elyria, across from the original location.
- Buckeye Loan Production and Servicing Center: Launched operations in August 2023 in Avon.
- Buckeye Operations Center: Opened in January 2024 from its new Sheffield Village location.
- Buckeye LaGrange Branch: Launched in May 2024 to better serve residents of southern Lorain County and the surrounding area.
These new chapters in Buckeye’s story are not arbitrary locations on a map but were selected after careful analysis to further Buckeye’s dedication to understanding local needs and fostering growth through personalized services and support. The bank continues to prioritize local businesses and individuals by providing customized lending and money management solutions.
Buckeye’s commitment extends beyond banking services. The bank’s team members actively participate in local projects and initiatives, offering leadership and support to strengthen the communities they serve. This core philosophy of community involvement has been instrumental in earning trust and driving civic growth.
