Hills Bank has grown to become one of Iowa's largest independent banks. We have achieved this growth the old fashioned way — by earning our customers'​ respect, one at a time. Hills Bank was founded on the principle that banks should care about the people they serve and provide ways to help them prosper. We hire employees who are appreciative, approachable, creative, and competent. This is not a new approach. It is the way we have been doing business since 1904. From our roots in Hills, Iowa, our family has grown to Iowa City, Coralville, Cedar Rapids, and surrounding communities. With our large asset base and community orientation, we offer the advantages of a large regional bank while maintaining the responsiveness of a smaller community bank. We are actively involved with the communities in which we are located. Participating in a variety of programs — from a focus on the benefits of reading during Community Reading Month and Summer Reading Programs to investing in education with our Classroom Cash program to supporting our local merchants with our Shop Locally campaign — it is our goal to make a difference in the communities in which we work and live.
