Making a real difference since 1898. For over a century, we have remained committed to helping the people and businesses of the West Shore community improve their financial well-being. As a local business, we employ over 100 people at nine full-service banking offices in Mason, Oceana, Manistee, Benzie and Grand Traverse counties. All of our employees live and work here, raise their families here, and volunteer here to help strengthen our community. An Interesting Start State Savings Bank of Scottville was founded in Scottville, MI on June 30, 1898. The first Board of Directors meeting was held in Detroit on July 25, 1898. The Directors were C.W. McPhail, President, M.L. Willliams, C.A. McPhail, H. G. Flint and M.A. Flint. The Bank first occupied a one-story brick building on the west side of Main Street. C.W. McPhail was the first President of the Bank. Total resources were $17,000. Our Goal of Making A Real Difference West Shore Bank stands by the statement of Making a real difference. But what does this really mean and look like? How can a bank make a difference? As an institution, it cant but as a group of committed people working together, it can. Each year, as a team we set plans, initiatives and training programs around this promise to ensure that we stay focused on achieving our vision of improving the financial well-being of the West Shore community through the banking services we provide.
