The Tioga City Council voted to move its banking business to PointBank, citing the bank’s investment in the community in the form of plans for a new branch in Tioga as a big determining factor.
The two other top applicant banks, SouthState Bank and First State Bank, were offering roughly the same banking services as PointBank.
“I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them,” City Secretary Donna Carney said. “I’ve put the breakdown in there for y’all to look at, and the interest rates. … I just think any one of those three would serve us well.”
