About our Company

Staying in business for more than 125 years is hard. Really hard. If you think about it, we’ve endured many events, like the Great Depression and two World Wars. We’ve survived and thrived, thanks to our great customers and communities. We were founded on core values of accountability, community service and financial conservatism. Those principles are the reason we are still in business today. Caring for people and communities is our foundation!

We’ve built a reputation of being financially secure and community focused. We are an independent community bank and fully intend to stay that way. We are big enough to accommodate any financial need, yet small enough to give every customer the personal treatment they deserve.

Here are some of the great benefits you will enjoy as a member of our team:

• Competitive Salary
• Personal paid time off and paid holidays, as eligible
• 401K and Employee Stock Option Plan, as eligible
