Who We Are

A Bank Where You are Always Welcome

When you think of a community bank, responsible, dependable and trustworthy usually spring to mind. While we strive to be these words and more at Lena State Bank, we also understand saying and doing are two different things.

As Stephenson County’s oldest financial institution, we take pride in the tradition of providing friendly, personalized service and convenient, full-service banking. Our decades of experience in banking and lending means we know the land, the people and the issues you face.

That’s why we are always looking for ways to serve you better, whether it’s through adding a personal touch to your experience with us or introducing the latest banking technology like Online Banking, Mobile Banking and our Merchant Card programs.

We are ready to help you face the future. Through offering quality services and products, quick loan decisions and competitive rates, we work every day to help make our community a better place.

Today, as a division of Foresight Bank, we remain your trusted local partner—now with the added strength of a unified organization behind us. Together, we’re focused on helping you move forward with quality products, local loan decisions, and a shared commitment to making our community a better place.

Call us or stop by today to see how we can help you, your family or your business grow.
