Citizens State Bank was organized on July 3, 1873, just three days after new banking laws went into effect in the state of Indiana. As a result, Citizens State Bank holds Indiana Bank Charter #3 and may be the oldest active Indiana bank.
In 1986, with an eye towards bringing their institutions together, The Bank of Montpelier was renamed Pacesetter Bank of Montpelier and First National Bank was renamed Pacesetter Bank of Hartford City. The three Blackford County banks – including their branches in Grant, Jay and Randolph Counties – were merged in 1997, becoming Pacesetter Bank.
Growth continued for the banks in the form of additional branches, improved technology, and consistently sound financial condition. Pacesetter Bank and Citizens State Bank were formally merged on September 21, 2013, and now operate as a single entity, Citizens State Bank.
