Our Journey

Historic downtown Monmouth and the original bank location.

Midwest Bank was built on a foundation of strong values and stronger relationships. From our beginnings in Monmouth in 1870, we’ve grown thoughtfully, never losing sight of what matters most: people.

As we’ve expanded to serve more communities, we’ve held tightly to our small-town roots — combining modern banking tools with a personal touch.

“We’re in the business of people, not just banking. When you live where you work, caring for your community isn’t just a promise — it’s personal.”

Community Involvement

We’re proud to be more than just a bank — we’re active members of the communities we serve. From financial education in schools to volunteer projects, local sponsorships, and events, we show up and give back.

Each year, our team members dedicate time and resources to causes that matter — because when our communities thrive, we all do.
