Our Story

Over 130 Years of Service

Dedicated to our Community, our Customers, and to You.

Since 1888, we have been focused on serving Cherokee and the surrounding communities by being there for our customers. We’ve been there through recessions and depressions, in lean times and the good.

As a locally owned and managed bank, we are committed to being your first choice for financial services. We provide the products and resources of a large institution while maintaining the personal touch and services of a hometown bank.

Our independent Board of Directors is able to make decisions in your best interest because all of us, from president and vice presidents to our tellers, are local. We live in and around Cherokee; we are your family, friends, and neighbors, meaning your challenges are ours, too. It is our continuing mission to support the causes and needs of Cherokee and the surrounding area in the professional and personal manner you deserve.
