Back in 1931, during one of the most challenging economic periods in American history, Fowler State Bank opened its doors with a staff of ten and a group of local investors committed to serving their community. Over the next nine decades, the bank grew from a single community institution into a trusted financial partner with more than $200 million in assets and branches serving Fowler, Kentland, and Williamsport.
While Fowler State Bank has expanded over the years, its main office remains at its original location, and its commitment to the communities it serves remains unchanged.
Our Purpose
Community Owned. Community Grown. Community Focused.
We believe banking should be personal. That's why decisions are made locally by people who know our customers, understand their goals, and care about the communities they call home. We take pride in knowing our customers by name and providing financial solutions tailored to their unique needs.
Over the years, we have built relationships that span generations, helping individuals, families, farms, and businesses achieve financial success. This relationship-first approach has defined Fowler State Bank for decades and continues to guide everything we do today.
