Ribbon Cutting: Bank Independent

Please join us for a Ribbon Cutting for Bank Independent!

Bank Independent’s roots run deep in the northwest Alabama area, and like the 18 communities we serve, our heritage is rich and steeped in tradition. Our story began in 1947 in Leighton, Ala., when the area’s only bank unexpectedly closed, leaving the hardworking residents of eastern Colbert County without banking services for the first time since 1903.

Today, Bank Independent employs over 600 local team members who are deeply involved in the areas served by the bank. As we enter our seventh decade of continuous commitment to those communities, our team members, leadership and shareholders honor the firm foundation established by the bank’s founding fathers in 1947. Bank Independent will always remain rooted in tradition even as we focus on a future of growth and prosperity.

Bank Independent's vision is to be the bank of choice in the communities we serve. Our Bank exists to make a positive difference in people's lives.
