It is often said that community banks stand out because of their friendly, personal service; truly taking care of their customers’ financial needs. Meet Janet Mendocha, Operations Clerk for KCSB. Janet definitely knows all about customer service. She and her late husband, Jim, owned a small country convenience store in a nearby town. By the fact that Janet is known and loved by so many people in the community, it is clear, she knows how to take care of her customers.
Janet and son
Joining KCSB in 2021, Janet enjoys helping customers with their online banking and debit cards. She also makes changes to checking, savings and debit card accounts, balances general ledger codes, and whatever else may be needed.
“I am a lifelong resident of the Vicksburg/Fulton area,” explains Janet. “I owned and operated The Fulton Little Store and enjoyed working, living, and serving the community. When a change was needed, I saw the opportunity to serve the community through working at KCSB. I now serve many of the same families I served through the store.”
Janet’s Sons Michael & Matthew
Janet also appreciates the daytime hours at the Bank so she can spend more time with her sons, Matthew and Michael, and her little Corgi, Gus (aka Sir Augustus McFluffybutt). In her down time, you will also find Janet binge watching something sci-fi in her big comfy chair with Gus.
