Yadkin Bank Celebrates Customer Appreciation with East Meets West Rally

RALEIGH, N.C. - Nov. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Yadkin Bank has announced the completion of the East Meets West campaign, a five-day rally to visit Yadkin Bank branches across North and South Carolina. The campaign marks the final step in uniting branches across the Carolinas following the recent merger between Yadkin Bank and VantageSouth Bank, creating a stronger community bank for customers.

To celebrate, each branch hosted a customer appreciation event, capping off a month-long charity drive to raise donations for non-profits designated by each market. The charities of choice received monetary donations from employees and customers. Yadkin Bank matched a portion of donations at each branch. In total, Yadkin Bank branches raised $55,000 for local charities in North and South Carolina.

"I am humbled by the enthusiastic involvement and generosity of our employees and customers," said Scott Custer, Yadkin Bank CEO. "Helping our local communities is a priority for Yadkin Bank, and it has been amazing to see that echoed by each of our 73 branches across the Carolinas."

In conjunction with the charity drives, Yadkin branches invited customers and members of the community to enter a raffle. At each branch celebration, a Yadkin Bank representative awarded Yadkin-branded prizes and selected a finalist for a chance to win one of two grand prizes. Each grand-prize winner will receive a vacation getaway. The grand-prize winners’ names will be drawn November 19 and announced once they have been contacted by Yadkin Bank.
