“I like working at MB because we really believe in the businesses we work with. They’ve got a lot on their plate, and all they really want in a bank is an advocate. So we try to be someone that knows them well, listens to what they need, and responds quickly. And now that we’ve
merged with Cole Taylor, we have even more to offer them: more products, more experience, more focus. It’s exciting when we help businesses solve some of these big problems. And of course, that
always means good things for us, too.”

What a Narrative IS NOT• A corporate script that’s forced on people
• Corporate buzzwords and complex jargon
• A silver bullet solution capable of producing results on its own
