Introducing Our New Minnesota Locations – Chatfield and Fountain

Mar 4, 2026 | 1 Minute Read

 

We’re excited to share that our network of banks is expanding to include the Minnesota communities of Fountain and Chatfield-two banks that have served their customers for generations and share our community‑first values.

First State Bank of Fountain (est. 1901) is known for personalized service and its simple promise that “all we have to sell is service.”

Root River State Bank (est. 1856) is recognized as Minnesota’s oldest bank, with deep agricultural expertise and longtime, relationship‑based banking.

Over the next few months, these banks will be transitioning and taking on the First National Bank name. We are so very excited to welcome them into the FNB family of banks! Check out the official Press Release here.

 

What this means for you, our current First National Bank customers

More access, same local feel. You’ll have additional branch options available and accessible in southern Minnesota, alongside our current MN locations of Fulda, Lakefield, Spring Valley, Hastings, LeRoy, Plymouth, and Slayton. Check additional branch addresses and hours on our Locations page!

Support that travels with you. If you’re on the road, any of our locations are happy to assist you! In addition, our affiliate sister locations are available across the Midwest and Southwest Regions – including First National Bank (SD‑CO‑WY region) and First Savings Bank offices. See Affiliate Locations to learn more!

Same trusted team. You’ll keep working with the same bankers you know, now backed by a broader network, even more lending capacity, and the same digital convenience you already enjoy (mobile deposit, online bill pay, and real‑time alerts).

 

Bottom line: We’re adding more doors, more neighbors, and more ways to say “yes” – so you can bank how and where it works best for you.
