A Bank of Pontiac employee has completed his first week of “The Community Bankers School”

Seth McCoy, loan officer at the bank, has gotten through the first half of the two-week course, which is held at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington. Upon completion, he and other students will be in a better position to advance their careers in banking and contribute to the successful operation of their banks.

McCoy joined Bank of Pontiac in 2014 as a loan representative. He serves as a board member for the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Pontiac Kiwanis Club.
