Banking for the businesses on our streets.


Shops, contractors, clinics and farms. Your account is run a few minutes down the road, not from a regional office.

When you ask us for credit, the people weighing it own this bank. They are not forwarding your file to a committee in another state, because there is no committee in another state.

That means you get an answer from someone who can give one, and you get it from someone who knows what your street looks like in February.

Borrowing against a season.

A farm year and a retail year do not look the same, and neither should the note that finances them. We write both.

Ag loans


Operating lines, equipment and farm real estate, arranged by people who know what a wet spring does to a repayment schedule.

Business loans


Premises, equipment and expansion for businesses in the three towns we serve.

Security PLUS line of credit


For when timing is the problem rather than the amount. Draw it down, pay it back, leave it open.

Commercial and ag credit is priced to the borrower, the collateral and the term, so there is no useful table to publish. Call the branch nearest you and we will quote it properly.

APY means annual percentage yield. APR means annual percentage rate. Yields shown are effective as of 6‑23‑2026 and can change.

A minimum deposit of $1,000 is required to earn the stated yield. The maximum certificate amount is $250,000.

Withdrawing from a certificate before its term ends may bring a penalty, and a penalty would reduce your earnings. Fees could also reduce earnings.
