The women of Valliance Bank in McKinney

Valliance Bank was established in Oklahoma City in 2004 as a financial partner to business owners and executives interested in customized solutions to their banking needs. A true community bank, Valliance has grown to include banks in Norman OK, FT. Worth TX, and McKinney TX – all chartered to focus specifically on the needs of their local customers.

Valliance has assembled a team of friendly bankers who are responsive and willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy their customers’ needs every day. They call it “relationship banking,” a principle by which they engender loyalty by understanding our customers’ goals and objectives. They also strategize with customers to develop a plan to fulfill the vision for their businesses.
