Foresight Bank: Built from Local Strength, United by Purpose
Since 1986, Foresight Financial Group, and now Foresight Bank, has been operating German American State Bank, State Bank of Davis, Lena State Bank, Northwest Bank of Rockford, State Bank Freeport, and State Bank of Herscher. We remain locally owned and headquartered in Winnebago, IL.
Together, We’re Built to Do More
Foresight Bank brings you the strength of six trusted banks working as one—offering more tools, more consistency, and more convenience across all our communities. Our leaders and decision-makers still live in the towns you do. Our employees still shop at the same stores, coach your kids’ teams, and volunteer in your schools.
What unites us is more than a name—it’s a shared commitment to showing up for our customers and communities, every single day.
Why This Matters to You
At the end of the day, banking should make your life easier—not more complicated. By coming together as Foresight Bank, we’re able to offer more of what matters—better tools, stronger financial resources, and a simpler, more accessible banking experience.
Whether you’re running a local business, managing your farm, or saving for what’s next, you shouldn’t have to leave your community to find the financial support you need. Foresight Bank gives us the scale to grow with you, and the local roots to keep decisions close to home—where they belong.
