As a cooperative, NCB's holding company remits patronage refunds based on financial performance. The refund is distributed in the form of cash and additional stock, as directed by the Board of Directors and creates a mutually beneficial relationship between the institution and its cooperative owners. Shareholders receiving patronage are those that paid interest and fees on a patronage basis in 2014.
"As a cooperatively owned financial institution, the benefits of stock ownership can be very rewarding," stated Charles E. Snyder, president and CEO. "We offer banking products and services to meet our customer needs – many of which are also shareholders who have been committed to the bank for a very long time. If we do well, they do well."
The distribution of patronage will occur in September 2015.
NCB provides comprehensive banking products and services to cooperatives and other member owned organizations throughout the country. What makes NCB unique is that the bank and its holding company were built to address the financial needs of an underserved market niche – people who join together cooperatively to meet personal, social or business needs.
