First National Bank of Sparta in Sparta, IL

An old fashioned bank that is very conservative and one that reminds me of the local banks that I remember from my youth. Always a smile with service and candy for the kids. Services include getting checks printed on site which I didn't even know happened any more. Far from the cookie cutter MEGA banks that have bought out most all of the little community banks here locally. They helped a person close to me get the money to buy a first house in the local community to get started in life. U.S. Bank wouldn't even think about touching them with their non existent credit from where they saved and bought their vehicles rather than borrowed for them all of their lives and never used a credit card. I think FNBS will be happy in the long run with the business of this person who appreciated their past help.
