Chelsea State Bank (CSB) has been my bank of choice for many years, personally and professionally.

CSB provides excellent customer service, friendliness, and helpfulness, which are all very important to me. They truly care about their customers.

What Our Customers are Saying

I've been banking at CSB for over 35 years. They are very conservative with their investments, which I appreciate. I don't want a bank to be going 1000 miles per hour to serve everyone quickly. That's how mistakes get made with my money. So do your research and have some patience. This bank is leaps and bounds ahead of any big bank.

What Our Customers are Saying

In April 2020, we decided to sell our family home and make plans to build our dream home. This three-year journey from hope to home could not have happened without the help of Mark Burmis and Chelsea State Bank. We found a great building contractor to deal with hiring a skilled local tradesman. Our role became that of financial responsibility. Chelsea State Bank helped us fill out the necessary paperwork needed to apply for a construction loan. We checked with other financial institutions, but CSB won out in every category from clear requirements to offering the best interest rate. From the very first meeting until our final session of closing our construction loan to signing our mortgage papers, everyone we met displayed professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness. We are very grateful to have such a supportive and impressive bank in our community. My family has relied on Chelsea State Bank for almost 100 years – my dad opened an account in 1925! We’ve never been disappointed!
