When most people think of community banks, they envision smiling tellers who know every customer by name. While this is true at Ephrata National Bank (ENB), the 143 year old institution represents much more. It actively strengthens the Ephrata area through a variety of initiatives that support residents, spur business growth, and invest in the future. In short, ENB is a community bank that builds community.
