Talkington Named Vice President at AHB

Talkington's primary responsibility will be the development of commercial relationships in the Tulsa metro area.

American Heritage Bank Chairman and CEO William L. Berry recently announced the appointment of Brian J. Talkington to the position of Vice President of business development. Talkington’s office will be at the new Glenpool branch of American Heritage Bank, located on the southwest corner of Highways 75 and 117 (121st Street). His primary responsibility will be the development of commercial relationships in the Tulsa metro area.

Talkington received his bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Oklahoma. He also completed the Oklahoma Bankers Association Commercial Lending School, and has served other area banks and their business customers with working capital products, emphasizing cash flow financing. Talkington is an Oklahoma native and has resided in Tulsa for the past ten years. “I am excited about the future in Tulsa and serving surrounding communities with American Heritage Bank,” said Talkington.

When away from the office, Talkington enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Lynette, and their three children. He also enjoys playing golf, running, and being personally involved in the Tulsa community. Talkington is a member of the Jenks Chamber of Commerce and St. Bernard Catholic Church.

Mr. Talkington hopes to live up to the mission of American Heritage Bank by meeting the banking needs of his business clients in the community through the establishment of long-term relationships, superior customer service, dynamic banking products and community leadership.

They opened doors in Sapulpa in 1905 and since that time have successfully opened 15 community based branch locations in 12 northeastern Oklahoma communities, with assets approaching $700 million.

American Heritage Bank’s credit culture has been consistent, conservative, and based on fundamentally sound lending practices throughout the years. A well-capitalized, secure, and positive loan portfolio has positioned them for future growth in the Tulsa market. According to Talkington, “We will continue to make business loans with terms, rates, and fees that are very competitive in today’s environment. Our industry-leading technologies will enable us to continue our commitment to be the preferred business bank in Tulsa.”

As a full-service financial institution, American Heritage Bank offers cash management services that include remote deposit capture, business checking, ACH direct deposit and pay, payroll checking, wire transfers, payroll debit cards, merchant card services, and business check cards.
