Sterling Federal Bank

Sterling Federal Bank Local Decisions. Lasting Impact. Community banking since 1885, meeting the needs of every generation with modern solutions and trusted service.

Sterling Federal Bank was built on a simple idea: local people and their businesses are best served by a local bank, with local interests at heart. For that reason, Sterling Federal was established as a mutual institution, owned by its depositors, instead of by shareholders. More than a century later, we're still a mutual institution. Throughout our history, we have focused on the financial needs

of everyday people. Today, you can enjoy a true community bank with both personal and business services. Whether you're looking for your first mortgage, expanding your farming operation, starting a business or saving for the future, you'll get down-to-earth personal service from a financially-focused team. Your success is our success. We know it, and we live it everyday. Your financial well-being means strong, healthy communities – and a brighter future for all of us.
