Flanagan State Bank was founded in 1913 and has been family-owned since Hank Schwerin became involved in the 1930’s. Opened in the early 2000s, you can find our Bloomington office on the corner of Washington and Prospect, across the street from Jim’s Steak House. Look for our big, white building.

When you visit us, you may be surprised that our building doesn’t look like a bank. When you enter our front doors, you’ll find the bank on one side and a hair salon on the other. Our building has other business tenants on the basement and upper levels. Parking is available for customers on the North and East sides of the bank building. Our bank is wheelchair accessible and we have a drive-thru ATM also for your convenience.

As a longtime family bank, we love to support our local community. The Bloomington office typically hosts a holiday open house annually in December. Our senior commercial loan officer works closely with the Small Business Development Center at Illinois Wesleyan University and sometimes sponsors seminars related to starting a small business. The bank sponsors and our senior mortgage loan officer volunteers at a local golf outing each year for the networking of local lenders and realtors. We also on occasion host talks by investment advisor, Matthew Schwerin, of CAPS Financial.

Katie has been with Flanagan State Bank for 12 years and enjoys helping customers find the best account to meet their specific needs. Katie graduated Magna Cum Laude from Millikin University in Decatur, IL, and has lived in Bloomington for 14 years. The most rewarding part of Katie’s job is the satisfaction of helping someone discover the best account option to meet their needs:

“Banking often seems complicated or intimidating to those who are unfamiliar with it. Being able to guide someone and explain the product in detail in such a way that they feel equipped to use the product to its fullest potential and manage their finances well is a great feeling.”

Katie has this advice for new and prospective customers:

Flanagan State Bank cares about our customers as people first and customers second. Our retail bankers and loan officers would be happy to discuss our account or loan options and find the one that best suits the needs of the individual or entity. Our goal is to find the best fit for them.

We have the tools for you to do your banking your way. We love to see you at the branch, but we also know when you are busy you want to be able to access your accounts via online banking, mobile banking, mobile deposit, or bill pay.

Several of our accounts can be opened online or you may set an appointment to talk with or meet with someone in person. We would love to help you!
