Centier Bank, Indiana’s largest private, family-owned bank, is pleased to announce Christine Patterson’s move to serve as Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager at its Lowell branch (1914 E Commercial Ave). Previously serving as Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager of Centier Bank’s Crown Point North branch, Patterson returns to her hometown to serve the Lowell community.
In her role, Patterson is responsible for the branch’s day-to-day operations, growth and compliance, as well as the client experience. She manages and motivates branch associates and serves as a financial resource for the community.
“I have been with Centier since 2007, starting as a part-time teller. I bring a great deal of experience to my role and encourage my team members to thrive,” said Patterson. “I am glad to have this opportunity to join my ‘home’ branch. I was born and raised here in Lowell, attended school here, and now my kids are enrolled in the Lowell school system, too. I am proud to serve the community in which I reside.”
From Patterson’s first role as a part-time teller, she became a full-time Universal Banker, Operations Supervisor, Assistant Branch Manager, and then Branch Manager of the Crown Point Stracks branch, followed by the Crown Point North branch.
“In the last 45 years, we have only had two Branch Managers at the Lowell office,” said Jennifer Doffin, Vice President and Regional Manager at Centier Bank. “Christine is a lifelong Lowell resident and has a strong banking background and tenure with Centier. She’s the perfect person to join the Lowell team.”
