Your Locally Owned and Managed Community Bank

On September 27, 2004 the American Bank of Burr and the First National Bank of Unadilla merged to form the new Countryside Bank with full service locations in Syracuse, Unadilla, and Burr and a Loan Production Office in Tecumseh. These banks have each served our communities for over 100 years and will continue to be owned locally and staffed by your neighbors and friends while providing convenient, full service banking. We appreciate your business and any referrals you might pass along to us for potential customers. Hope to see you soon at our “Countryside” locations.

Chairman Emeritus

TOP TEN REASONS TO BANK WITH COUNTRYSIDE BANK

10. GROWTH: 
Over the last ten years we have added 3,000 new customers and exceeded industry averages in loan and deposit growth. We want to be the bank you refer to your friends.  You’re our best source of new business.  Thank you for your support. 

9. EXPERIENCE: 
We have 17 employees with an average of over 20 years of banking experience.  Dealing with the same employees over time helps to promote long-lasting relationships. 

8. FINANCIAL SUPPORT: 
We provide financial support to schools, community clubs and non-profit organizations. We contribute over $25,000 to over 100 area non-profit and civic organizations every year. Our employees and directors all have a vested interest in the communities that we serve. We all live and actively participate in area community activities. The bank encourages participation in area non-profit organizations, and allows flexible employee scheduling to encourage participation. 

7. CONVENIENT BANKING SINCE 1888: 
We have three full-service locations in Unadilla, Burr and Syracuse, with a loan production office in Tecumseh. In addition, we have three convenient ATM locations at the Nutcracker and Casey's in Syracuse and the Shamrock Station in Unadilla. We do not surcharge customers from any bank who carry a Nebraska ATM card with the Nets logo. Countryside Bank customers receive unlimited withdraws from these ATM locations without charge. 

6. INDEPENDENT BANK: 
We are locally owned and managed. Employees who are familiar with the area make decisions promptly. Our employees know that a vibrant, local economy will result in increased banking activity and will facilitate long-term growth in our bank, and the communities we serve. 

5. FIXED RATE HOME LOANS: 
We specialize in construction, business and home loans.  We have an active home loan division with about 50% of our total loan volume in real estate loans. Funding local loans over our entire customer base helps spur local economic activity. 

4. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 
This is a primary focus of each employee. Employees are compensated based on their level of customer service. Existing customers refer most of our new customers. 

3. A WIDE ARRAY OF SERVICES: 
Services include tax preparation and planning, IRA’s, retirement planning, complete insurance services, Visa debit cards, credit cards, and free senior checking accounts. We also make business, farm, home and personal loans of all types. 

2. EMPLOYEES: 
Our employees are our most valuable assets. Our employees take pride in their work and have a genuine concern for our customers well being. We know banking, not only on a local, but state level. Our employees participate in banking seminars and schools to keep us abreast of banking laws and products. We enjoy our occupation. 

1. COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS: 
We offer competitive products and deliver them in a prompt, courteous and confidential manner!
