CORE VALUES

The Core Values of ALIANT Bank describe who we are and how we go about accomplishing our Vision and Mission each day. The Core Values paint a picture of the desired culture and fabric of the bank.

Serving
Our mindset will be one of providing the highest service levels to our constituents-simultaneously serving our customers, our teammates, our shareholders and our communities. Realizing that there can sometimes be conflicting needs among these groups, we will strive to find ways to meet the needs of all of our constituencies without compromising any of them.

Positive Attitude
We realize that a positive attitude within the workplace breeds high employee morale, outstanding customer satisfaction and ultimately higher productivity. Highly effective organizations are made up of positive minded people.

Outperforming
We strive to outperform our competition in every way. This means outworking and outsmarting the other financial institutions in the markets we do business in. It is this desire to outperform that drives ALIANT employees to fulfill all of these core values.

Accountability
Simply stated, we do what we say we will do on time and to the best of our ability. We recognize that the success of ALIANT Bank is dependent upon many different people doing different jobs every day. We all accept this interdependence and pledge to hold ourselves and all of our teammates accountable to their goals and objectives.

Performance Based
Reward, recognition, remuneration, and advancement are based solely upon the performance of the individual and the bank. Inherent in this value is an objective, specific, and fair goal setting and performance evaluation process. We will observe and coach our teammates so that they have every chance to succeed.

Trust
Our bank is built on trust. We trust each other’s commitment to ALIANT Bank and to these core values.

VISION STATEMENT

By year-end 2012, ALIANT Bank is a $1.3 billion financial services firm with a valuable franchise in the State of Alabama. Our "footprint" covers a diverse geography of markets with a dominant presence in Alexander City and with growing market share positions in the greater Montgomery and Birmingham markets. We will look to new markets opportunistically based on the ability to bring key people on to our team in those markets. Our ethic is built upon a focus on success. We value crisp decision making and couple it with a sense of accountability for results. We are a relationship bank focused on truly knowing our customers and understanding their needs. We deliver needs based solutions to our customers through a variety of delivery channels. We strive to give customers the best service in the industry.

Our financial results will include a 1.40% Return on Assets and a 20% or greater Return on Equity. Our earnings generate a strong total return to our shareholders (our employees, including our ESOP, own 10% of the bank) and, combined with appropriate leverageable debt, provide a sound capital structure. Our operations are built upon state of the art technology, a highly capable systems architecture and a lean but effective operation base. We are privately owned and intend to remain privately owned.

ALIANT Bank is an employer of choice for motivated and productive people. Operating with a shared vision and in an open, caring environment, employees of diverse backgrounds enthusiastically provide the highest levels of service, thereby, giving our customers a positive ALIANT Bank experience. ALIANT employees make the difference. They account for the positive and welcoming environment that is the hallmark of our bank.
