In search of more performance

All it takes is a spark to get something started. Wally and Miriam, owners of Wally’s Speed Shop in Loveland, CO, know that very well. They worked hard to build their business, one car-loving customer at a time. They know the value of hard work, perfecting your craft, customer relationships — and great service.

“I love seeing their faces light up when they talk about their customers. They’re truly great business owners that take care of their customers and employees.”   

— UBT's Remi Berg on Wally’s Speed Shop’s commitment to customers

When it became too difficult to get their financial needs met on time from their previous bank, they started asking trusted colleagues for recommendations. That’s when Ryan, Remi, and UBT cruised into the picture.

Though they had never heard of the UBT name before, they got a glowing review of Ryan and his team, and were willing to meet with them. They immediately had a good connection. “We were reassured by the size and longevity of UBT in other markets, as well as Ryan’s experience in helping Northern Colorado businesses succeed,” Wally said.

Soon things were in gear for Wally’s to move to UBT, where they added commercial credit cards, ACH services, and Positive Pay, a fraud prevention and mitigation service. “Positive Pay and the virtual credit card services have been the most impactful for us. You can get those things at other banks, but with UBT, it’s more about the service.”

Having set them up with more tools for success, Remi reflected, “It feels great to see them succeed and grow their business. They are genuinely great people in this community. Their passion for making their clients’ dreams come true is evident with their great work and dedication to making the perfect custom car. They can tell you about every car they build and rebuild for their customers.”

We’re excited to see what’s in store for Wally’s Speed Shop down the road.
