About Us
Your banking. Your community. Profits returned.
We are proud to be your local Community Bank. Unlike traditional banks, we are locally owned and governed. Decisions are made here, by local people, with the goal of strengthening our community. When you choose to bank with us, profits stay local. That simple decision has enabled more than $3.95 million to be returned to support local groups, facilities andinitiatives that build connection, wellbeing and opportunity across our community.
We are not just located in the community. We exist for it.
How the Community Bank Model Works
