About Us
The State Bank of Bern and its State Bank of Axtell branch have been cornerstones of the Bern and Axtell communities for 120+ years. We are proud to be a locally owned bank with decisions made right here in our communities, so we can give our customers the kind of ‘home town’ service they have become accustomed to over the years.
BauerFinancial, Inc., the nation’s leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm for over 25 years, recently awarded the State Bank of Bern its highest 5-Star Superior rating for financial strength and stability. This was the 100th consecutive quarter (twenty-five straight years) that the bank has earned this highest honor … only a few of the nation’s banks can claim this Best of Bauer distinction.
The bank wants its customers and communities to know it is our goal to continue this kind of traditional, conservative banking; and we pledge to serve your financial needs in the very best way we can. Thank you for being a State Bank of Bern customer!
