As we celebrate Independence Day this July, it’s a fitting time to reflect not only on the freedoms we enjoy as individuals but also on how those same principles resonate with the values that drive Medallion Bank forward.

The Spirit of Independence

Independence Day reminds us of the courage, innovation, and unity that established our nation.   These ideals are not just historical footnotes, they are guiding principles that continue to shape how we live, work, and grow.

In business, independence doesn’t mean working alone. It means empowering individuals and teams to think critically, act boldly, and make meaningful contributions. It’s about enabling people to take initiative, make decisions, and bring new ideas to life.

At Medallion Bank, our core values align closely with the spirit of independence:

Community: Independence is most impactful when it uplifts others. We are committed to actively contributing to our communities and fostering a workplace where everyone is invited to collaborate and thrive.

Ownership: We encourage every team member to act with a sense of ownership — taking initiative, being accountable, and thinking like an owner. Independence within established boundaries empowers us to make informed decisions, learn from outcomes, and continually grow.

Balance: We believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance that allows individuals to thrive both professionally and personally. Flexibility, well-being, and sustainable productivity are essential to our culture and long-term success.

Respect: We are in the people business and believe that everyone deserves recognition for their contributions. Respect involves being charitable, considerate, and valuing the perspectives and efforts of every individual.

Happiness: We strive to create a workplace where people feel fulfilled, appreciated, and inspired. When employees are happy, they excel at their work, and that energy fuels our collective success.

Looking Forward

As we wave our flags and enjoy fireworks this 4^th of July, we are reminded that Independence Day is not just a historical milestone, it embodies an everyday mindset that shapes how we serve our clients, support our team, and strive to make a difference in the world.

Thank you to our employees, partners, and customers for being part of this adventure. Let’s continue building a future grounded in freedom, responsibility, and shared values.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Medallion Bank.
