Careers

At Highland Bank, our exceptional service comes from the inside. We strive to foster a work environment that places the same value on our employees as we do on our customers. We value employees as an essential part of our team, with a focus on commitment, communication, competency and accountability.

As a member of an interdependent community, we believe that people and corporations are responsible for finding ways to improve the communities where they live and do business. That’s why we established our Community Involvement Program. Our mission: To strengthen our community by reciprocating the support given to our bank in the form of employee time, talent and donations. Our goal is to work as a one-bank team, showing mutual respect for each other and collaborating to find solutions that meet the needs of our customers and our community.
