Community member and retired Lombard Battalion Chief, Chuck Ralis, told us that he is powered up by being financially smart.
Chuck has lived in Lombard since the 1970’s and was a member of the Lombard Fire Department for 28 years. Now, he is happily retired, and able to spend his time learning to play guitar, enjoying quality time with his family, and relaxing with his friends on periodic fishing trips.
Chuck began his relationship with West Suburban Bank when he realized his home was in need of some major repairs. He chose West Suburban Bank because it was a neighborhood bank that he felt comfortable with. Coming through in a clutch, West Suburban issued Chuck a home equity loan and he was able to make the necessary fixes, which in turn, tripled the value of his home!
Working with West Suburban Bank to get the loan and guide Chuck to make smart financial decisions, has put him in a better position as a retiree.
At West Suburban Bank, we are happy to power community members like Chuck. We wish him relaxation and and enjoyment in his retirement. Let us know what you think about Chuck’s story and continue to tell us, “What Powers You Up?” on Facebook and Twitter. #WSBPower
