Since it was chartered in 1987, American State Bank has always
strived to fill the needs of our customers and communities
with high-quality professional financial products and excellent
customer service while maintaining the values established
for the bank at its beginning. Our slogan, "What a Bank
Should Be: is exemplified by these values.
Honesty and Integrity: American State Bank performs
its work with the highest sense of integrity. Integrity requires,
among other attributes, honesty and fairness. It can accommodate
a difference of opinion, but it cannot accommodate
the compromise of principle. Integrity is measured in terms
of what is right and just. Our many loyal, lifetime customers
rely upon our bank's integrity. We appreciate their trust
and loyalty, and we constantly work hard to deserve both.
Importance of Our Customers: American State Bank strives
to constantly provide the highest level of quality service
and customer satisfaction. Our bank prides itself on the friendly,
personal service our customers receive. At American State
Bank we customize our bank products into a banking program
that will meet the individual customer's financial needs.
We want all our customers to succeed in obtaining their financial
goals.
Importance of Our Employees: American State Bank's
goal is the development of a quality, motivated, professional
bank staff. Each employee is encouraged to work to maximize
his or her professional potential. Our bank staff is known
for its friendly, personal service - "their eagerness
to serve" the customer. We provide a challenging and
pleasant work environment and competitive salaries and benefits.
We know that our greatest asset is our employees.
Importance of Sound Banking: The primary purpose in
the operation of American State Bank is to manage and allocate
the bank's capital through sound banking practices with the
integrity and values of the bank being maintained. We take
pride that our bank has grown from $8 million dollars to over
$80 million dollars in assets in the past 15 years. We know
our banking practices and values work and we know our customers
to believe that "we take care of their money as though
it was our own."
Commitment to our Community: American State Bank strives
to provide a meaningful contribution to the communities we
serve by leadership and participation in community activities.
We believe that our greatest contribution to our communities
is having financially successful customers. When our customers
succeed, our communities prosper.
A bank should be about more than the bricks and mortar, the
money, the products and services, and the people, it should
be a banking business built upon solid values and integrity.
This is what the American State Bank is - "What A
Bank Should Be."
