Where would you like to do your banking?

Somewhere, far away, there's a cavernous officeplex where nameless people see if all the right boxes are checked before they approve a loan application. And then there's 1st State Bank. Where decisions are made by the person sitting in front of you. A person who's in town. All you need to do is get in touch.

Let’s get face-to-face right now:

Our lending is face-to-face. Not face-to-ginormous-processing-center.

1^st State has the best business checking account. With your choice of free courier service or remote deposit. No fees. No minimum balance. No other conditions or restrictions. No catches or tricks up our sleeve. No kidding.

So get in touch. Soon. Because every day you wait is another fee you have to pay.

The best things in life are like our checking account. Free.

You open an account with one bank. It gets acquired by another … and then another. Suddenly you’re no longer a customer in a bank that knows you. You’re just another number ”serviced“ from a call center far away. Or you open an account with 1st State Bank. Where you‘ll always be a big part of a tight-knit family. One that stays in town. All you need to do is get in touch.

There’s a lot of change in the banking world. New policies. New ownership. New leaders. New staff. Are you having a hard time keeping up with changes at your bank? Then maybe it’s time to change banks. To one that’s based right here in mid-Michigan. To one that’s designed to serve the needs of people like you. To one that offers the flexibility and service you can only really get from a ”local“ bank. Maybe it’s time to change to 1st State Bank. And we’ll show you how one change in the banking world can be a great change for you.

Sometimes getting down to business means getting down to the bank. But bank mergers and impersonal policies make it harder for a business to actually “do business.” It’s like you’re a stranger to them. Maybe you need a “local” bank. Switch to 1st State Bank. We work to understand you, your company, and what you need to keep things running. Come on down. We’re here for you.

If you’re a businessperson in the Great Lakes Bay Region, you have a lot of banks to choose from.

Unless you want to meet face-to-face with a banker who can make decisions. Unless you want a bank that offers you more convenient ways to make your banking easy. Unless you want a bank that isn’t going to nickel and dime you to death with fees and charges.

In that case, you don’t have a lot of banks to choose from. You have us. 1st State Bank. In town. In touch. And in a unique position to serve the needs of a businessperson like you.
