The 20th Century was a tumultuous time for the banking industry. The stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed forced many banks to close completely. Thanks to sound management and strong support from our customers, The First National Bank of Arenzville weathered that financial storm without incident. The Bank was never closed to business except for the government mandated bank moratorium of 1933.

Traditionally, The First National Bank of Arenzville serviced primarily agricultural clients throughout the region. We still have a strong base of farmers and a unique understanding of the needs of the farming community. But, our directors and management have always understood that growth means change and diversification. In order to keep The First National Bank of Arenzville strong the decision was made to branch out into surrounding population centers. That’s why, in 2000, The First National Bank of Arenzville added a branch on South Main Street in South Jacksonville, IL.
