Welcome to State Bank, your locally owned and operated community bank.
From the beginning, we have dreamed of starting and growing a community bank devoted to helping customers the right way. We believe in one-on-one, warm, personal attention offered with contemporary products. All of this is provided by knowledgeable, friendly, professional bankers who are committed to serving our community.
Today, we continue to research new products and services in order to meet the changing needs of our customers. Since opening our doors in 1999 we have come to provide such value-added products as online and mobile banking, identity theft protection, cash management services, and much more.
One thing that hasn't changed over the years is our unique style of doing business provided by the area's most experienced team of professional employees. We are a bank that is far more committed to customers than most. It's that independent spirit that allows us to provide banking with yesterday's attitude and tomorrow's services.
We would like to thank all of our friends and customers for your business and relationships. You are the reason for our success - thank you!
