Heartland Bank celebrates 125 years
6 Mar 2026
News, Greene
Since 1901, Heartland Bank has remained family owned to continue local decision making and community support.
The bank’s fifth and newest branch opened in Jefferson in 2020 at a temporary downtown location, and moved into their permanent building two years later.
Scott Weber, vice-president of the Jefferson branch, said this is what originally attracted him to Heartland Bank in 2019.
Weber said Jefferson’s economic development and Community Development Block Grants made the town a desired destination for the bank.
“We’re adding tax base back to the community, and community involvement and support have all been things that we’ve provided,” Weber said.
