In 2025, we at Patterson State Bank proudly celebrate 100 years of serving our community. This milestone is more than just a number—it represents a century of trust, progress, and unwavering dedication to the people who make our bank what it is today. Since our founding in 1925 by Harry Williams and E.F. Marin, we have remained committed to helping families, businesses, and individuals achieve their financial goals.
Our story began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a local bank that put people first. Through the decades, we have stood by our customers during both prosperous times and challenging periods, including the Great Depression, World War II, economic downturns, and industry changes. No matter the circumstances, our core mission has remained the same—to provide reliable, personalized banking with a forward-thinking approach.
A Legacy of Innovation
As times changed, so did we. While we have always valued personal relationships, we also embraced new technologies to make banking easier and more convenient. In 1978, we became the first local bank to introduce ATMs, giving our customers 24/7 access to their funds. Then, in 1998, we launched internet banking, revolutionizing the way people managed their finances. Today, we continue that tradition of innovation with online and mobile banking, mobile deposits, remote deposit capture, and other digital services designed to meet the needs of modern banking.
We understand that our customers lead busy lives, and we strive to provide solutions that fit seamlessly into their daily routines. Whether it’s checking an account balance from a smartphone, depositing a check from the comfort of home, or making a quick transfer between accounts, we make banking as simple and accessible as possible.
More Than Just a Bank—A Partner in the Community
At Patterson State Bank, we believe banking should be personal. We are more than just a financial institution—we are a trusted partner, a neighbor, and a friend. We take pride in knowing our customers by name, understanding their needs, and celebrating their successes.
Over the years, we have helped generations of families buy homes, start businesses, and save for the future. We have stood by our customers through life’s biggest moments—helping newlyweds purchase their first home, guiding young entrepreneurs in launching their dream businesses, and supporting retirees as they plan for their next chapter. Each customer story is a part of our story, and we are honored to play a role in these milestones.
Beyond banking, we are deeply invested in our community. Supporting local businesses, schools, and organizations has always been at the heart of what we do. We believe in giving back, whether through financial education initiatives, sponsorships, or volunteering at local events. Our success is directly tied to the success of the communities we serve, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Looking to the Future
As we celebrate this incredible 100-year milestone, we are not just looking back—we are looking ahead. The world of banking continues to evolve, and so do we. We are committed to staying at the forefront of technology while preserving the personal relationships that set us apart. No matter how advanced banking becomes, one thing will never change: our dedication to you.
The legacy that Harry Williams and E.F. Marin started in 1925 lives on in every decision we make, every service we provide, and every relationship we build. We are grateful to our customers for trusting us for the past century, and we look forward to serving you for many more years to come.

It’s about the families who have banked with us for generations, the small business owners who have grown their dreams with our support, and the individuals who have relied on us to help them navigate life’s financial journey.
