From personalized service to innovative products, our mission is simple: make banking easy, rewarding, and rooted in community values. Buckeye State Bank, originally founded in 1885 as Citizens Bank of DeGraff, was purchased by local investors in 2014 and renamed to reflect its mission of delivering Buckeye-Style Banking across Ohio from its headquarters in Powell. Serving consumers and businesses throughout multiple Ohio counties, the bank prides itself on relationship‑driven service rooted in honesty, integrity, and midwestern values—offering competitive products comparable to big banks while maintaining a personal, community‑focused approach. Banking local with Buckeye State Bank means your deposits are reinvested directly into the community through loans to local residents and businesses, with decisions made by people who live and work in Ohio, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to Local Decisions, Local People, and Local Investment.
