Chad and Brandi Sharkey
"The team at UBI has extensive knowledge and a broad network when it comes to farm programs and agricultural lending."
Recently, we visited with Chad and Brandi Sharkey, ag customers who bank with our Schleswig office, and their lender Alan Weiss, who is a Vice President Regional Manager and manager of the Schleswig office.
Chad shared, "My experience with United Bank of Iowa began when Alan Weiss was new at UBI and asked whether I would consider United Bank of Iowa as my lender. Having always felt that Alan had my best interests at heart, I decided to make the move - and I'm glad I did."
Chad continued, "Both of our careers began humbly in trailer houses - Alan's with UBI and mine in farming. Since then, we've accomplished a great deal together. Alan and UBI have consistently supported my projects, identifying programs and solutions that made them possible, and working with me to keep rates competitive. Their deep understanding of my business and their commitment to helping me grow has meant a great deal."
When asked if he would recommend UBI, Chad stated, "If someone is looking for a bank that truly supports growth, I would highly recommend UBI. In my experience, they genuinely want you to succeed and work to build strong, lasting partnerships. The team at UBI has extensive knowledge and a broad network when it comes to farm programs and agricultural lending. If you need information, they will go the extra mile to get it for you."
Chad summarized, "I've had an excellent experience with UBI. Alan has been both a trusted business partner and a friend. As my boys become more involved in the family business, I look forward to seeing what the future holds with UBI by our side."
