The Farmers State Bank of West Salem was organized and incorporated in 1909. The Farmers State Bank continued to expand and, in 1922, purchased the Bank of West Salem, which had been opened by Samuel Wood in 1902.
In the 1960s, new offices, a night depository and drive-in window were built for growing operations. In 1991, a one bank holding company, Community Independent Bancorp, Inc, was formed, and The Farmers State Bank of West Salem became Farmers State Bank (FSB) at that time.
Extensive remodeling was done at the West Salem location in 1998 to better utilize available space, and the main entrance was moved from the front of the building to the side where a new lobby area continues to greet customers.
Farmers State Bank remains a local bank dedicated to old-fashioned customer service, the bank have always been committed to instituting new technology and changes to meet the needs of customers. Farmers State Bank currently offers ATMs, telephone banking, and Internet banking with free online bill pay.
