The UBA would like to welcome our newest member at the Benefactor Level!
When you do your banking with a community bank,
your deposits support the local economy!
Our history of strength, stability, and helping people, goes back three generations - to the early 1900s! We take pride in being a true community bank that follows solid banking principles and supports local families and businesses through our financial services.
As the economic and financial sectors continue to experience instability and uncertainty, you can rest assured that Heartland Bank is standing strong. We've built a solid local team of talented and caring bankers who are empowered to do what's right for each customer. We look forward to serving Champaign-Urbana for many years to come!
Visit one of our five C-U branches or online at www.hbtbank.com - we'd love to get to know you! |
