Horizon Bank has been a trusted part of the banking community since 1873, building its reputation on exceptional service, sensible advice and a commitment to relationships that last a lifetime.

For more than 150 years, Horizon Bank has helped individuals, families and businesses reach their financial goals through personalized solutions and a dedication to doing what’s right for every customer. The company opened its branch in downtown Big Rapids in September 2021.

As a full-service financial institution, Horizon Bank offers everything from checking and savings accounts to personal and commercial loans, mortgages, and financial planning. One of its unique advantages is the ability to print debit cards right in the branch, eliminating wait times and giving customers immediate access to their accounts.

While products and services are important, Horizon Bank knows its true difference-maker is the people who deliver them. Every day, employees bring strong customer-service skills, attention to detail and problem-solving abilities to ensure each interaction leaves a positive impression — because in banking, service is what sets you apart.

Horizon Bank’s team members describe the workplace as friendly, welcoming and rewarding. They enjoy helping customers solve financial

challenges, building relationships in the process and working for a company that truly cares for its employees — right down to offering a paid day off for birthdays.

Horizon also values giving back, partnering with Michigan Works! West Central to deliver financial education workshops and resources that strengthen the community. The company has led a variety of free workshops at Michigan Works! West Central’s Big Rapids service center on topics such as financial planning, building credit and more.

As Horizon Bank looks to the future, it aims to continue fostering that partnership, expand recruitment and retention efforts, and maintain the same high ethical standards that have defined it for generations.

Their staff also is willing to meet with individuals to assist with auto purchase planning, help work to build their credit, resolve credit issues, financial planning and more.

Horizon Bank is more than just a bank — it’s a place where customers are valued, employees are appreciated and community always comes first.
