Hopeton State Bank

The Hopeton State Bank is a community financial institution providing a range of lending and deposit products. The bank serves a diverse client base that includes individuals, farmers, ranchers, and local businesses.

Its primary revenue is generated through interest income from its loan portfolio, which encompasses personal, auto, commercial, and agricultural loans. These are offered for purposes such as vehicle purchases or refinancing, business expansion, and investments in farm equipment and livestock. The bank also earns income from fees associated with its services and interest paid on its investments.

For depositors, the bank offers Certificates of Deposit (CDs) with fixed interest rates for specified terms, providing a stable investment vehicle. Additional services include safe deposit box rentals, with fees based on size. As a member of the FDIC, customer deposits are insured up to the standard limit. The business model is that of a traditional local bank, focusing on direct customer relationships and serving the financial needs of its immediate community.
