Horizon executed its integration plan on the weekend of September 26, 2015 that included systems conversion and new signage.

Along with expanded branch and ATM locations, customers will have the opportunity to select from a fuller range of loan options, increased access to their accounts via telephone and mobile banking, along with a suite of services now available to business customers that can greatly enhance their banking relationship.
