Village Bank

Village Bank is part of your community, which makes it our community as well. Our employees are your neighbors. We live and work alongside you and like you, we want to see our region flourish. That is why we like to keep it local. When you bank locally, you help:
 
  • Ensure that local money is working to grow the local economy. Together we can keep money flowing into our community.
  • Support the local causes and organizations that matter to us all. We support local organizations through donations, employee volunteerism, and sponsoring community events.
  • Build and strengthen community relationships. We help encourage our business customers to do more business together, and personal banking clients to patronize those businesses. By working together and growing closer, our community and families are more likely to not only succeed, but to thrive.
  • Create jobs. Community banks play a huge role in funding local small to mid-sized businesses, who employ the neighbors and families in our community. We turn deposit holdings into local loans that spur business growth within the community rather than using those funds for speculative trading—investments that carry with it significant risk.
