Testimonials
THE FIDELITY DIFFERENCE.
We believe we are special. We believe our culture is second to none. Not just because we have beautiful buildings or state-of-the-art technology, but because the people who work within those walls and utilize that technology in service of our customers and communities are second to none. Our success has always been about people, that’s why we call it the Fidelity family. Hear now from a few family members in their own words on what it means to work with purpose and passion every day.
MALAIKA BELL

Malaika Bell was searching for a career that moved BRAVELY ONWARD® before she learned the meaning of BRAVELY ONWARD®. Drawn to Fidelity Bank's strong culture of inclusion, support and community engagement, she found an environment that fosters personal and professional growth while contributing to meaningful, systemic change.

I chose to join Fidelity Bank because the BRAVELY ONWARD® promise spoke to me. It reflected a strong culture of inclusion, support, and community—a place where people are appreciated and can thrive. I feel valued as part of the team. There's real commitment to helping employees grow. Leadership is a trusted resource, and the care for both people and the community differentiates us from our peers. It has been empowering to be encouraged to show up authentically while continually developing both personally and professionally as part of such a forward-thinking organization.
DANIELLE THOMAS
Senior IT Manager
Danielle Thomas represents the heart of Fidelity Bank's commitment to nurturing long-term careers and meaningful relationships. Her Fidelity story began as a college student seeking a job that provided tuition support and consistent hours. Today, Danielle's career path has evolved into a critically important leadership role that has allowed her to build lasting friendships and professional networks.

What makes Fidelity truly exceptional is the people who work here. Some of the closest friendships I have in life began within these walls. Fidelity has not only supported me professionally but has cared for me as a person, and that care has extended beyond me to my family. I've never felt like just a number here—there's a genuine sense of camaraderie where employees truly care about one another and are invested in the company's success. More than just a workplace; we are a community. My time at Fidelity has been a journey of growth, purpose and meaningful relationships that have shaped both my career and my character.

JULIE CARTER
Residential Training & Development Manager
Julie Carter's journey with Fidelity Bank
is a testament to the power of unwavering commitment to employee welfare and
career development. After initially seeking
new challenges elsewhere, Julie was drawn back by a unique opportunity to create a brand-new training position, a reflection of Fidelity Bank's innovative approach to talent retention and growth.
Her story takes a poignant turn during a serious medical event, highlighting the bank’s authentic care for its employees.

Fidelity Bank invests in its people and works hard to provide an atmosphere that encourages personal and professional growth. I have worked at extremely large and small companies throughout my career, and Fidelity Bank stands out in the personal approach. Management, even executive management, is approachable and listens to what all employees have to say. They honestly want to know what you have to say and will take it to heart, learn from it, and try to make the bank a better place through it. I consider myself lucky to be part of the Fidelity family and blessed to be part of this culture.

The talented professionals at Oklahoma Fidelity Bank played a key role in persuading Brian Ball to join their team, along with the exciting opportunity to contribute to the bank's growth in Tulsa.
