Time Investment Company is a third party lender. A family owned and operated business since 1981; we pride ourselves on providing exceptional personalized Raving Fan customer service to all of our dealers, loan and subordinated note holders. Because we are licensed to only do business through organizations (Dealers or distributors) who assign contracts to us, we cannot and do not provide personal loans directly to individuals. A foundational cornerstone to our success is the fact that we pride ourselves on developing and cultivating loyal long-term relationships. Because we are a relational company, we practice referral marketing—with 95% of our customers coming exclusively from word-of-mouth referrals. Time Investment Company’s Mission Statement is “To improve the quality of life through excellence in customer care”. To this end we are committed to help improve the quality of life for our dealers, distributors, loan holders and investors by providing tailored sales financing programs allowing consumers the ability to buy high quality home products through affordable monthly payments with an experienced team who are committed to providing a customer centered experience. TIC prides itself as a practitioner of Common Sense Lending which we have been doing since our inception, servicing some of the top companies in their industries.

Pioneers explore opportunities, break new ground, and blaze trails. Alongside their neighbors, they build communities with can-do commitment. This pioneering spirit, as important today as it was when Pioneer Bank was first established over a hundred years ago, is at the heart of all we do. In 1909, a group of farmers and merchants invested ten thousand dollars to create what is now chartered as Pioneer Bank and Pioneer Bankshares, Inc. Today, Pioneer Bank has 7 convenient neighborhood branches in Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Luray, Ruckersville, Shenandoah, Stanardsville, and Stanley. The Bank offers free and interest checking and savings accounts, online and mobile banking, bill pay, CDs and IRAs, and fee-free debit/ATM services accessible from any one of more than 55,000 Allpoint ATM locations worldwide. Pioneer Bank also serves businesses and nonprofits with checking, loans, cash management services, and remote deposit capture as well as real estate, consumer, small business, and farm lending. Financial Advisory services make a variety of investment and retirement planning options available. As technology advances and the financial landscape changes, Pioneer Bank will continue to provide quality personal services to its growing customer base by remaining independent, community-owned, and “large enough to serve you, yet small enough to know your name.”
