About Farmers State Bank

The Farmers State Bank of Waupaca was established in 1911.  The first bank building was on the corner of Fulton and Main Street in what is now the Hart & Hart office.  The bank was there until 1966 when it moved into the old Palace Theatre on 112 W. Fulton Street.  In the fall of 1977 the Farmers State Bank added a drive-up to the Fulton Street office.  

The downtown office remained the only Farmers State Bank location until August of 1989 when the bank built its first branch at 717 Churchill Street.  This bank was added to handle the growing demand for a bank on the east side of Waupaca.  In December 1991, the Farmers State Bank expanded again, this time in King.  The bank built its King Branch at N2701 Cty. Rd. QQ right next to the Veterans Home in King.  This branch has helped serve the expanding area around the Chain O' Lakes.   The Auto Bank was opened in May of 1998 at 118 W. Session Street (1 block from its Main Office).  This facility serves our customers as a quick access drive-up and has allowed the bank to expand its Main Office.  Our fifth location was added on May 22, 2000 in Wild Rose.  This branch will help serve the needs of the growing community in the Wild Rose area.  On June 1, 2005, we opened our sixth location.  This time opening a branch on the corner of Highways 96 & 110 at N560 Highway 110 in Fremont.

An important note about the Farmers State Bank is that it opened as a Locally Owned, Independent, Community Bank and still holds true to that 96 years later.  Also, the Farmers State Bank is one of only three banks in the state of Wisconsin that did not close during the depression.

Our Mission Statement is as follows:  "Working together with our customers and community as independent bank by providing quality financial services in a friendly manner."  As a community minded bank, our money is reinvested to support our local communities including the following:
