Bank History  

Our story begins in 1884 along the cobblestone streets of Ogden, Iowa. It was here where a private bank, which would later be known as VisionBank, opened its first branch, offering a safe space for locals to store their gold and silver. Over the next century, the bank grew to hold over $900 million in local deposits and become a part of the fabric of the Central Iowa community.
