Since opening OlyWines in 2022, owner Ed Schlich has captured the interests and imagination of wine enthusiasts from around the region. In the process of creating a personalized experience for his customers, he discovered a business banking ally right next door to his specialty shop; the Tumwater branch of OlyFed.
For Ed, banking with OlyFed isn’t about transactions, it’s about trust. “OlyFed takes care of my business with the same attention and care I give to helping someone discover their new favorite bottle,” he says.
Whether it’s a warm greeting at the branch or thoughtful financial guidance, Ed appreciates the human touch that makes OlyFed feel like a true partner.
As the region’s only local mutual bank, OlyFed is built for long-term relationships. And just like a fine wine, those relationships take time, care and a genuine commitment to quality. It’s why Ed proudly shares his story and why OlyFed continues to invest in the community it calls home.
