We have a responsibility to you, our neighbors, and we make it our mission to support our local communities!
As a true community bank, we are inspired every day by the communities where we live and serve. We feel a connection with the way of life here in North Central Iowa. That's why we give so much effort to giving back.
In addition to sponsoring and participating in area events, we make it a priority to provide financial support to nonprofits and local development projects. While megabanks hold onto every penny, we provide over $150,000 a year to community initiatives and events, such as:
Riverfront Project
Main Street Charles City
Chamber of Commerce
Local festivals and events
