Missy Shifflett is Branch Manager and Loan Officer at Highlands Community Bank Hot Springs Branch. As a valued member of our team, Missy brings years of experience, expertise and support, and a deep understanding of her community and those that inhabit it.
A Home at Highlands Community Bank
Missy is a genuine banking professional with over 20 years of experience in the industry. She joined the Highlands Community Bank family in 2017 and brought many customer service-facing skills and processes. Before joining the team, Missy had worked at other banking institutions but was drawn to work at a local bank like Highlands Community Bank, where she could better serve her community.
Missy has held various roles in her banking industry career, starting as a teller and working up to customer service representative, loan officer, and eventually branch manager. Having worked in all these positions, Missy has gained a deep understanding of what it takes to provide exceptional service to customers and help them achieve their financial goals. “Since we’re a local bank, we get to know every customer that comes through our door. They’re our neighbors; they mean a lot to us, and we value them,” Missy mentions.
As Branch Manager and a Loan Officer, Missy helps her community members with loans, opens new accounts, hops on the teller line when needed, and assists with any debt cards or online banking issues. She takes pride in tending to the needs of our customers as if they were her neighbors because, in many cases, they are.
Missy’s experience and knowledge of the banking industry and community have made her an invaluable asset to the Highlands Community Bank team. Her local roots and commitment to her community shine true in how she serves customers and helps them achieve their financial goals.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Bank
When you bank with us, you’ll receive personalized service, recognize our local presence, and benefit from Highlands Community Bank’s services and products, like our loan products. Missy helps customers with their loan journeys by sitting down with them, guiding them through paperwork, discussing their concerns, and answering any questions.
“When I can assist a customer with a loan for any situation, it gives me such gratification. Whether it’s an auto loan, a personal loan, or a home loan, I love being there for my customers and putting them with the right loan product. If we can’t find a solution that day, we work with our customers and help get them where they need to be.”
As a local bank, Highlands Community Bank makes local decisions. Missy mentions, “If you call for a loan today (besides a real estate loan), you’ll likely get an answer and sign your documents today. We don’t have to send those loan applications out to be approved by some bank that doesn’t know you. We make those decisions here.”
“It’s that simple. We go above and beyond with each of our customers.”
