090: Lake Norman Welcomes United Community Bank

In this episode, I sit down with Charlie Curtis, the Lake Norman Metro President for United Community Bank. Charlie shares of few of the details behind UCB’s recent acquisition of Aquesta Bank. We discuss the vision for United Community Bank’s expansion into the Lake Norman market, and what it means for local small businesses and former Aquesta clients.Aquesta Bank has been recognized by several of our guests here on the podcast in past episodes for their personalized service and excellence in helping their small business clients navigate the PPP loan process during the COVID-19 pandemic. I know that I, along with many other local Lake Norman small business owners, have enjoyed banking with Aquesta over the years, and we may have wondered at times how the acquisition by United Community Bank would affect our banking experience going forward.I don’t want to give too much away ahead of rolling my conversation with Charlie, but let me just say that I think that United Community Bank’s acquisition of Aquesta is good news for the Lake Norman region. I’ll let Charlie share the rest of the details.I’m very proud to welcome United Community Bank and Charlie Curtis to the podcast. Listeners, thanks for joining us.
