In 1976-77 a group of local citizens felt that their banking needs were not being met satisfactorily and began a movement to find investors and start a new bank. The American State Bank was officially chartered in November, 1977. We opened for business in a small mobile home on the site of our present parking lot. A new building was soon erected and served us well until 1995 when we began a major addition and remodeling project. This remodeling project doubled our space and allowed for more privacy when working with customers.

We are a community bank and we take pride in our commitment to this area. We have staff people active in various community activities to beautify the area, enhance economic development, and assist with service organizations to help the less fortunate.   This commitment comes from the top down and everyone is involved in some way or another.

Our service to customers is second to none. Our location provides for easy access and excellent parking. Our drive-up window has four lanes with one designed especially for the heavier deposits of business customers and another for high profile vehicles. Our hours are customer friendly also.  We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM 'till Noon.

Our assets as of close of business on December 31, 2007 were $112,000,000.  We feel this growth is due to our ability to serve our customers well.
