May 6, 2008

Columbia, SC - VistaBank, which opened for business in Columbia and Aiken in January, has chosen Catalyst Advertising as its agency of record. 
 
By definition, vista means "a pleasing view," and VistaBank offers personal and business banking services from the consumers' point of view. "We believe that this an opportune time to start a new bank," says Paul Dusenbury, President and CEO. "VistaBank has no non-performing loans, no past-due loans, and no problem assets. We are in an excellent position to meet the growing credit and banking needs within our market areas. Also, given the current historically low interest rates, it makes good economic sense for borrowers to finance, or re-finance, their credit needs with us," he continues.

"This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the beginning with a blank canvas to work from," says Keely Saye, Principal and Business Development Director of Catalyst.
