Town & Country Bank
January 15, 2008 Town & Country Bank – Buffalo, Forsyth & Mt. Zion was established in 1911 in Buffalo, Illinois as Farmers State Bank. There were 37 stockholders with $25,000 in total capital stock. In March of 1984, Farmers State Bank was acquired by Town & Country Bancorp, Inc. (now known as Town and Country Financial Corporation) and retained its independent community bank status. Believing in the value of strong local banking, a branch of Associated Bank was acquired in 2000 in Mt. Zion, Illinois with assets of $9 million. In 2004, the Bank continued its expansion into the Decatur market by opening a new branch in Forsyth. The Bank attributes much of its success to its employees, customer service, and ongoing commitment to community service - the foundation of community banking. Assets have grown from $24 million to over $67 million with the help of nearly 20 employees at their three convenient branches.
J. Bruce Moore, Town & Country Bank – Buffalo, Forsyth & Mt. Zion’s President and CEO joined the Bank in November 2006. He brings to this bank 30+ years of commercial banking experience, leadership and team building abilities that will grow the bank over time.
