We’re proud to announce the addition of two new Universal Bankers to the GCSB team. Both Brandi McHargue and Jay Rhoten bring a unique skillset and wide-ranging experience that will be a great asset to our valued customers.
Brandi McHargue: Enhancing Customer Experience
This March, Brandi McHargue joined the Guthrie County State Bank team as a Universal Banker at our Guthrie Center location. With over 7 years of experience in the financial industry, Brandi’s expertise spans from her previous roles, including a Compliance Specialist at VISIONBank of Iowa and a tax associate at H&R Block. Her dedication to customer service and her problem-solving abilities will be a great addition to the Guthrie Center team. Originally from Des Moines, Brandi now resides in Stuart with her two sons. When she’s not assisting customers, she enjoys outdoor activities like motorcycle riding and fishing, as well as unwinding with a good book. Brandi is eager to engage with the communities we serve through volunteering and supporting local initiatives.
Jay Rhoten: A Leader in Service and Mentorship
We are pleased to welcome Jay Rhoten as our new Universal Banker in Panora. Jay brings an impressive background in public service, having served as a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Des Moines Fire Department for nearly two decades. His commitment to coaching and mentorship is evident through his roles as the Men’s & Women’s Assistant Coach at Central College in Pella, where he not only trained athletes but also recruited promising talents. Jay holds a B.A. in Communication Studies from Central College, with international experience gained through the school’s exchange program in London. Returning to his roots on his family farm outside Linden with his wife, Lexi, and their large family, he is excited to contribute to the local community through Guthrie County State Bank. His wealth of experience, dedication, and leadership will benefit both our team and our customers.
