The Honor State Bank was founded in 1917 when they opened their first office in Honor, Michigan, on Henry Street. The purpose then, as it is now, was to serve friends and neighbors who live in the community—giving them an opportunity to bank with people they knew. While much has changed since those early days, the commitment to provide independent banking services to their communities has remained the same.

With the exception of the “Bank Holiday” proclaimed by Governor Comstock in February of 1933, The Honor State Bank was the only local bank to remain open throughout the Great Depression. They have continued uninterrupted service ever since.

In 1983 they opened their first branch in the Village of Benzonia. Other offices followed with branches established in the following communities.

In addition to these branch offices, they have Wholesale Mortgage Funding offices in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Palatine, Illinois; Richmond, Indiana; and Columbus, Ohio.

If you’re not yet a customer, they look forward to meeting you. It only takes a couple of visits to one of our offices before you’re banking with people you know
