100+ Years of Service

In 1910 The Citizens State Bank of Ontonagon began its story. At its inception, the bank’s goal was to improve customers’ financial lives and enrich the local community it served.  More than 110 years later, our commitment remains the same, but our vision of delivering on that promise has evolved.

We pride ourselves on making banking decisions that truly benefit our local community.
