Savings, Loans, And More With Fidelity Bank & Trust

Change. In the banking world, it can mean two things – change can simply mean coins as a form of currency; change can mean new ways a bank takes care of you.

Farmers & Traders Savings Bank and Fidelity Bank & Trust are making changes that will add up for you.

As of December 31, 2021, Farmers & Traders Savings Bank will be acquired by Fidelity Bank & Trust. The current staff will be ready to welcome you when we open on Monday, January 3, 2022.  This merger expands the footprint of your bank into eastern Iowa, southwest Wisconsin and western Illinois, giving you 34 locations and over 300 bankers who are ready and interested in helping you.

The merger of Farmers & Traders Savings Bank to Fidelity Bank & Trust will continue the tradition of being owned by the Kennedy family since 1911.  Fidelity Bank & Trust Chairman of the Board, James R. Kennedy, Jr. will be another member of the fourth generation to lead the bank and is committed to maintaining support of the Bancroft community.

In addition, the merger will offer new products and services for our customers. Mobile banking will be available, debit card and other transactions will post immediately to online banking, and mortgage products will have more options. Customers have been asking for additional features and we will have them for you soon!

Thank you for your patience as we merge our environments. Thank you for your continued conversation with the familiar staff you’ve come to know, as they strive to serve your financial needs.
