Creating an outstanding banking experience begins with a strong team, and we at SouthEast Bank pride ourselves on making every experience with us a personal one.
That’s why we care about introducing you to the special team members who you’ll see in our branches every day, like Lacey Mosley, one of SouthEast Bank’s leaders proud to have been born and raised in the community in which she works.
“I’ve lived in Spring City my entire life,” says Lacey. “I love the view of the mountains, the charming atmosphere, and the friendly people. You never meet a stranger here.”
In addition to the home she’s built with husband Mo, son Ethan, and basset hounds Chief and Smokey, Lacey has made SouthEast Bank a kind of second home. Her skillset and passion for customer service have been long benefitted our bank while driving her impressive professional career, from her start as a teller in 2007 through a variety of titles and responsibilities across our footprint. Now, she serves as Vice President and Branch Manager in Spring City.
“I love our culture here at SouthEast Bank,” Lacey says. “My coworkers feel more like my family, and my customers are more than my customers: they are my friends.”
Despite a number of accolades, including a recent recognition as a top loan officer in Rhea County, Lacey counts earning the esteem of her community as one of her greatest accomplishments.
“I think I’m most proud of becoming the person in town that most people trust with their banking,” says Lacey. “No matter where I go in town, someone usually stops me and asks me a banking question, or stops me and thanks me for taking such good care of them or a family member.
“I went through the check out line at our local grocery store one day, and the cashier in the line next to mine stopped what she was doing to come over and thank me for taking such good care of her parents. People of the community trusting me means more than words could ever express.”
In and beyond the bank, Lacey is passionate about seeing the Spring City community thrive.
“I love supporting all of our local businesses. To me, if we can shop and eat local, we are truly making a difference,” she says. “When the youth of our community need a sponsorship, these businesses are the ones who sponsor. When there is a need in the community, these businesses are the ones giving to the cause. So anytime I can shop or eat local, I do!”
On the occasion when Lacey and her family travel beyond their slice of East Tennessee, they enjoy going to Orlando and try to visit Universal Studios once a year. “We love roller coasters and the Volcano Bay side.” She also enjoys kicking back with episodes of Friends. Despite having seen every episode she can watch them “over and over without getting tired of them!”
We’re grateful to count Lacey as a member of our team and an example of our community values here at SouthEast Bank. She sums it up well when she says, “Helping others is what keeps me motivated. I feel like if I can make a difference in one person’s life each day, then I can consider that a success!”
Whether you’re new to Spring City or a long-time community member like Lacey, our SouthEast Bank team is ready to welcome you! Be sure to introduce yourself the next time you visit.
