Bippus State Bank was founded on July 22, 1911, in the small rural community of Bippus, Indiana. M.N. Knight, a local businessman who operated a general store and conducted a currency exchange on the side, established the bank as a service to the people of the community. Since then, we’ve expanded to five locations in two counties. In 2011 we celebrated our 100th year of service and we’re looking forward to the next 100. We truly are “committed to remaining an independent community bank.” Being a small bank allows us to stay true to our roots, because we don’t just serve our communities, we’re a part of it.

This is essential, especially when it comes to a community bank that genuinely cares about your financial well-being. At Bippus State Bank, we understand the importance of trust, personalized service, and being a reliable partner in your financial journey. With our deep roots in the local community, we prioritize building strong relationships with our customers, ensuring that they feel supported and empowered to achieve their financial goals. From competitive interest rates to innovative digital banking solutions, we strive to provide the tools and resources you need to bank confidently and conveniently.
