When The State Bank was formed in 1898 we were founded to serve the needs of our neighbors and friends; establishing a foundation of trust, which is a passion of ours that still exists today. We have grown to 20 locations with branches, Connect! ITMs, and ATMs that span across Bay, Genesee, Ingham, Jackson, Livingston, Oakland, Saginaw and Shiawassee counties to make banking more convenient for our customers.
Through an approach that looks for solutions, and our belief that together we can overcome any barrier, let us help you find a brighter future.
Our vision is to become a community bank known for helping our customers look past obstacles or limiting perspectives to see what’s possible.
Our mission is to remain an independent community bank by offering the most flexible and comprehensive financial solutions delivered by our team of top performing professionals who go to work every day with the goal of helping families, businesses, and our communities find their better state.
The State Bank has been a part of the Fenton community since 1898. H.B. Latourette, a long-time banker in the area, and four other prominent citizens organized the Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton. They sought to serve the needs of their neighbors and friends, thereby establishing a foundation of trust, a relationship that still exists today.
In 1988, Fentura Financial was created and changed the name of Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton to The State Bank. While our name changed, our dedication to establishing strong customer relationships and our commitment to community did not. On December 31, 2016, Fentura Financial also finalized their acquisition of St. Charles-based Community State Bank. To keep up with our community’s dynamic growth, Fentura Financial Partners changed its name to The State Wealth Advisors on June 30, 2016.
Today, we also serve the communities of Holly, Linden, Grand Blanc, Brighton, Farmington Hills, Birch Run, Chesaning, Grass Lake, Montrose, Munith, New Lothrop, St. Charles, Stockbridge, Thomas Township, and Saginaw. The State Bank prides itself on offering a unique hybrid of localized decision making and empowered employees, coupled with innovative tools and sophistication which helps our customers turn obstacles into opportunities.
