Help Move Community Banking Forward

A Commitment to Support

Bankers’ Bank has been a steadfast partner to community banks for more than 40 years, embodying a philosophy of mutual support. It started as a visionary concept in 1976, through a group of Wisconsin bankers, to form a bank dedicated to supporting independent banks to help them overcome the challenging economic times.

Wisconsin Independent Bank quickly proved its value by offering innovative services like Federal Funds, payments/clearings, loan participations, and investment services. Despite challenges, such as changes in reserve regulations, the bank adapted and continued to grow, always prioritizing its clients’ needs. Over the years, Bankers’ Bank expanded its services and geographic reach, entering markets in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. The bank’s commitment to innovation and partnership helped it become the dominant correspondent bank in Wisconsin, offering over sixty products and services by the 2000s.

A Bright Future

Bankers’ Bank’s motto, “Always Your Partner, Never Your Competitor,” has guided its growth and success. The bank has consistently been profitable, delivering dividends to shareholders every year since its founding and expanding its services to support community banks. Today, Bankers’ Bank is the second-largest bankers’ bank in the country, with $1.4 billion in assets and more than 600 community bank partners.

The growth of Bankers’ Bank would not be possible without the support of community banks.
