Welcome to First State Bank and Trust! We know that you have many choices in financial institutions, and we’re confident that you will find First State Bank and Trust to be unlike any other option in the marketplace. First State Bank and Trust is unique because we’re 100% employee-owned. If that sounds uncommon, it’s because our ownership structure is extremely rare.
