Our History and Mission

In late 1914, a group of community members recognized the need for a bank in Pine Bluffs that catered to the needs of farmers, ranchers, merchants, and residents in the surrounding area. Through their dedicated efforts, they established Farmers State Bank, enlisting Mr. E. W. Stone as the President and assembled a team of talented individuals. Over the years, the bank has evolved, embracing technological advancements while remaining committed to its original vision of conservative banking and exceptional customer service. Today, Farmers State Bank continues to adapt to the changing times, upgrading our systems to become more in line with modern technology. The Bank looks forward to a bright future, ensuring that it remains a trusted and responsive community bank for years to come.
