Bank of Stanly Donates Money for Educators

Bank of Stanly, long committed to community support, continued their Educator's Gift Program for Stanly County Schools' teachers and staff by donating $3,000 to Stanly County Schools for their participation. By taking part in the Educator's Gift their $1.00 service charge is donated to the Stanly County School of their choice. If 90% of teachers and staff participate in the Educator's Gift Program, Bank of Stanly will donate $15,000 to Stanly County Schools.

Educators, with Educator's Gift Account, can access their account, transfer funds and pay bills at their convenience with Internet Banking and Online-Bill pay 24-7. Coupled with Direct Deposit, teachers and staff can manage all of their finances from the comfort of their home. Those paid on a 10-month cycle can elect "Paycheck Stretch", which helps manage funds for the full 12 months, while earning competitive rates.

"By doing business with Bank of Stanly you are making a difference today and creating a better tomorrow for everyone in the community, "said Bill Lawhon, President and CEO. "We want to keep your local dollars working in Stanly County to create jobs and new industry. With your support, we are able to give back to the community with programs like the Educator's Gift and also with time as we encourage associates to volunteer in the Stanly County Schools by tutoring, reading to a class, and teaching students about financial responsibility."
