Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating Central Bank of the Midwest as our Member of the Month!

๏ปฟ

We are honored to name Central Bank of the Midwest as our Member of the Month! With two convenient locations in Smithville. One on West Main Street and another on South 169 Highway. They have long been a cornerstone of our local economy and a trusted partner for our residents.


Central Bank of the Midwest is a full-service community bank that combines the high-tech features of a large institution with the personal touch of a hometown neighbor. They offer a wide array of solutions, from personal checking and home mortgages to complex commercial loans and treasury services for local businesses. We especially love their Classic Club, which provides unique travel opportunities and social events for customers aged 50 and better, proving that they value building relationships far beyond simple transactions.


What truly makes Central Bank stand out is their deep-rooted commitment to Smithvilleโ€™s success. Their philosophy is simple: a bank is only as successful as the community it serves. Youโ€™ll frequently see their team members volunteering at local events or supporting our schools and non-profits, putting their time and resources back into the town we all call home.


We are so grateful to have the team at Central Bank of the Midwest as part of our Chamber family. Please join us in congratulating them on being named Member of the Month!
