About Us
We got our start as a small business, a small bank in a small town, way back in 1927. Through 4 generations, we've provided banking and insurance services to the communities where we live and work. Our founder, A.C. Brown, always said, “Take care of the customer.” It’s a promise we intend to stick to.
