When the bar was completely shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, our biggest concern was for our staff of career bartenders, servers and cooks. Securing PPP funding through Iowa State Bank allowed us to bring our staff back quickly, and to pay them even through the worst of our business downturn. Flash forward to 2021 when many bars and restaurants were struggling to find staff, we were not in the same boat as we had been able to keep our team together with the help of PPP funds.

Iowa State Bank has been a great partner for our business and private endeavors. Not only do they offer all the banking products and services we need, but all their team members are accessible, friendly and helpful. We appreciate how hard they work to make our dreams come true.

When our business was looking to expand we had a colleague recommend Iowa State Bank for our financing. They were instrumental in helping us finance a new building through both the SBA and themselves. We, also at that time, over 20 years ago moved our personal and business accounts to Iowa State Bank and have always been pleased with their service. Their motto of ‘It’s Nice To Be Home’ is very fitting as we are personally greeted by name when we come in for any reason and our needs and concerns, both personal and related to our business, are always addressed 100%. We could not ask for any better service!
