A Little Lagniappe

It’s King Cake time.  King Cakes are those beautifully decorated circular cakes that signify the beginning of carnival season or Mardi Gras.  It’s one of the great traditions of life along the Gulf Coast.  Another tradition handed down from the epicurean French explorers who settled that area is the idea of “lagniappe.”

I can hear you wondering – “What is ‘lagniappe’ and what does it have to do with banking?”  Lagniappe is a little something extra, like the 13th donut the baker might give you when you buy a dozen or a free download that might come with your purchase of a new iPod.  What it has to do with banking is that at Quantum National Bank, we’re always looking for that little something extra to let you know we appreciate your business.

We have already scheduled our first lagniappe event for 2013.  On Friday, February 8, in partnership with Level Creek Wealth Management, we’re hosting a 2013 economic forecast presentation.  Join Fidelity advisor Bob Frutoz as he looks at the factors influencing the economic recovery and how they affect you as an investor.  Bob will touch on housing, domestic energy and manufacturing in this interesting and informative hour.  Watch your e-mail for your invitation.

As 2013 unfolds, the Quantum team will continue to look for ways to add a little lagniappe to our banking products and services.  We thank you for allowing us to be “Your Banking Partner for Success.”  Enjoy carnival season…Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Wishing you success,

Bryan J. Cohen
President & CEO
