Raritan State Bank, organized in 1920, is celebrating 100 years of friendly service. They take great pride in having one of the area's oldest and most reliable banking facilities.

Located seven miles west of U.S. Route 67 between Monmouth and Macomb, this rural community banking institution enjoys a reputation for providing excellence in both personal and community service.

From the Depression Era, when Raritan State Bank was one of few area banks to remain open to serve the community, to today, when a global pandemic has led every industry to embrace new ways of doing business, Raritan State Bank has remained strong and steady for generations.

Raritan State Bank is committed to offering outstanding service and personal attention. They are responsive to the needs of customers and the community. In 1999, a need for expansion drove a decision by bank managers and directors to construct a branch location, and Abingdon Banking Center on Illinois Route 41 was born. With the success of the Abingdon location, came the need for yet another location and the Bushnell Banking Center was developed in 2007.

In 2008, Raritan State Bank recognized the opportunity to provide customers with a new platform for banking. They rolled out online banking through netteller. Today, raritanstatebank.com is the portal customers use to access online banking, take advantage of financial planning tools, connect to community highlights, and gain valuable information on a variety of topics helpful to banking in the 21st century. For on-the-go users and customers near and far, they released the Raritan State Bank Mobile application in 2016.

There are 37 employees at Raritan Community Banks who strive to provide the highest quality financial services and an easy, convenient experience to customers of every generation. They are what make Raritan State Bank "The Bank of Friendly Service."

Lobbies and drive-up services are currently open to customers. Stop in and see one of their qualified banking professionals today.
