CLAREMORE — A new banker joined the RCB Bank Claremore family on Monday. Jeffrey M. Howell is a new Vice President, Loan Officer at the Main Claremore branch located on Patti Page Blvd.
Howell, a Claremore native, previously worked at 1st Bank Oklahoma and IBC Bank. He is a member of the Will Rogers Lions Club, on the board of the Sequoyah Schools Foundation, and a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Claremore.
“I am excited for this opportunity at RCB,” said Howell. “RCB is a solid bank committed to the Claremore community and I am really looking forward to being a part of this team.”
Howell is an alumnus of Rogers State University and has 10 years banking and investment experience. He will be primarily responsible for consumer and commercial lending at RCB. Howell, his wife Rhonda and their 3 children reside in Claremore.
“Jeff is a great addition to the RCB team,” said Tim Cutsinger, RCB’s Claremore market President. “He brings a wealth of experience to the position and a clear commitment to the community.”
Howell’s new office is at the Main Claremore branch located at 300 W. Patti Page Blvd. He can be reached by phone at 341.6150.
In addition to Howell, Consumer Loan Officer, Barbara Renfrow moved to RCB Bank’s Financial Center on February 1, 2010. The move reflects an effort to offer full-service banking solutions at each RCB location.
“Barbara will be a tremendous asset to the Financial Center,” said RCB Bank Claremore market president Tim Cutsinger. “By moving her to the new office, we now have a complete range of services at each branch, meaning a customer can do just about any banking service at all of our Claremore locations.”
Renfrow joined RCB in 1995, at the Owasso location on 86th Street. She then moved to the main RCB branch in Claremore on Patti Page Blvd. Renfrow was promoted to Consumer Loan Officer in January 2008, and is primarily responsible for making consumer loans.
“This will be great for our Financial Center customers,” said Renfrow. “Now they no longer have to travel to another branch to visit with a lender - they can take care of everything in one location.
RCB Bank’s Financial Center is located at 511 W. Will Rogers Blvd., in Claremore. Lobby hours for the branch are 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Renfrow can be reached by phone at 341-6150.
