Great North Bank

Great North Bank is family owned and proudly independent. We provide a better banking experience with flexible, efficient and innovative financial services and expertise. Unlike “mega banks” Great North Bank is an independent community bank. Our bankers are accessible and able to advise and make decisions quickly providing businesses the agility to compete and helping individuals and families achieve their dreams more quickly. The Great North Bank story starts 1891 in a vastly forested and lake filled region in the North. You could say we were the “original economic developers” partnering with businesses and families to achieve the American dream. The bank boasts three generations of family ownership thanks to determination, unwavering service, and willingness to innovate and explore. In celebration of our 125th year, we renamed our bank Great North Bank (formerly State Bank of Florence). Our ownership has not changed and we are more committed than ever to the principles of independent banking. The new brand identity will further strengthen our position in the market.
