BANK'S HISTORY TALLIES OVER 120 YEARS
"Bank of Billings does business the way most banks did decades ago, we know our customers and they know us. We understand the high level of personal service that is expected and we plan to continue that tradition in the future."
"The difference between our bank and the larger banks is our personal service. We value the people who choose Bank of Billings as their financial institution and I feel that our appreciation should be demonstrated by level of service our customers receive.".
"As the media broadcasts the economic perils evident on Wall Street and Main Street and as we see foreclosed homes on block after block of our communities, I hope that the public faith in banking is held firm in the small community banks that have been structured to weather these storms".
Bank of Billings was founded in 1889 and serves the Billings and Marionville communities with two full service locations located on Hwy 60. After 120 years, the Billings Bank remains the oldest bank in Christian County.
