Jim Wermuth ’53 earns banking service award

Jim Wermuth visits with a client

Jim Wermuth ’53 was featured in an article by Ed Avis that was posted to the Independent Banker news site on July 25, 2016. As a “traveling banker,” a service offered by Capitol Bank, 81-year-old Jim takes his suitcase full of banking accoutrements out on the road to 13 retirement communities in and around Madison. He helps clients with their day-to-day banking needs, acts as a notary and even sells stamps for those who are homebound. He had already retired from a 25-year career when Capitol Bank reached out to him shortly after the bank was founded in 1995. Now, his efforts have paid off in a 2016 National Community Bank Service Award from the Independent Community Bankers of America.
