Overcoming Roadblocks with OPB
Alliance Trucking of Medford hauls goods to 48 states, but COVID-19 created major challenges. Customers struggled to pay bills, and President Rhonda Barry worried about her employees. Unaware of the Paycheck Protection Program, Rhonda received a timely call from Dawn Hartley at Oregon Pacific Bank in Medford.
Timely Support
At the time, Alliance Trucking was doing business with another bank, so Rhonda reached out to see if they could apply through their bank. After repeated phone calls, she was finally told to apply online and was not offered help.
“I called Dawn at Oregon Pacific Bank and told her what I’d learned. She said, ‘I can get the money for you.’ So, I took my paperwork to her, and she helped me fill it out—it took us about an hour.” The approval came shortly after, and funds arrived within a few days. “It was huge for us,” Rhonda says.
Making the Switch
Dawn was happy to be of service. Helping businesses and lifting up the community is at the core of Oregon Pacific Bank’s mission, Dawn says.
Rhonda ultimately decided to move their accounts to Oregon Pacific bank, and she’s glad they made the switch. “With Oregon Pacific, it’s such a small bank and they really care about their customers—they care about their people,” she says.
