We are excited to announce that Forreston State Bank and Poplar Grove State Bank will become Solutions Bank! As a community bank, we want to inspire and implement solutions that allow our customers to focus less on banking transactions and more on what matters most to them.
This partnership will allow us to offer more big bank solutions but keep the small bank relationships that we value so much. We have always been focused on providing the best banking experience possible. Combining these banks into one allows us to offer customers expanded products, services, and staff.
Why a name change? With this merge, we are combining two great brands. We want our name to reflect the importance of both brands and the communities we serve.
