Early on, visionary entrepreneur Drew Barthle (owner of A1 CDL) knew he needed a bank to support his business banking needs.

He met Commercial Relationship Manager James Garner at a previous bank and they struck up a friendship. When James moved to Bank of Central Florida, Drew came with him.

“It’s the perfect balance of convenience and relationship,” Drew says. “When I want to make a deposit from home, it’s easy. When I come into the office, everyone knows my name.”*
