August 9, 2019

 

 

On behalf of all Opportunity Bank of Montana employees, I would like to personally welcome you to the Opportunity Bank team. We are excited for the opportunity to combine Western Bank of Wolf Point with our company. I would like to congratulate all of you for the great job you’ve done over the past several years. Your performance is an important factor in making this transaction so attractive to us at Opportunity Bank.

 

Opportunity Bank of Montana has a long history of serving our customers as a local, Montana-based community bank. I plan to meet with you in the coming weeks to personally introduce myself. We will be paying a welcome bonus to you shortly after the purchase closes to thank you for staying with Western Bank of Wolf Point and coming on board with us.

 

I recognize that you will have questions over the next few days and weeks as we prepare for the closing of the transaction later this year. We are committed to keeping you informed and communicating with you in a timely manner. Enclosed with this letter is a brief overview of some of the benefits provided to full-time employees. I will be visiting with you, accompanied by some of my staff, to provide more detailed information about employment with Opportunity Bank of Montana, and our plan to help you become familiar with Opportunity Bank’s products, services and operating systems.

 

The management of Western Bank of Wolf Point and Opportunity Bank of Montana are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible. Please feel free to contact Alana Binde, Human Resources Officer, with any benefits-related questions. Her phone number is 406-457-4015 and email address, abinde@oppbank.com.

 

Thank you, and welcome to Opportunity Bank of Montana. I look forward to working together with all of you to continue to meet the banking needs of our Montana communities.

 

Sincerely,
