FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2024 JACKSON, MI – Chelsea State Bank is expanding, opening a full-service banking branch in Jackson, Michigan in October 2024.
“This exciting new venture for Chelsea State Bank is directly related to our strategic plan for geographic expansion, created three years ago by our team,” said Joanne Rau, President and CEO, Chelsea State Bank. “Our extensive history in Western Washtenaw County has allowed us to invest in Chelsea, Dexter, and Manchester. Now we will be able to provide an elevated banking experience for our customers in Jackson County at our Jackson Banking Center. If you drive by 611 N Wisner Rd., you will see a ‘coming soon’ temporary sign until the permanent sign is installed in the early fall. We expect to be fully operational this fall.”
Chelsea State Bank’s new location is at the former Ann Arbor State Bank/Level One Bank.
Chelsea State Bank’s award-winning, full-service banking offers a wide array of services, including traditional in-person banking, an advanced online banking platform, and a mobile application, meeting the varied needs of businesses and individuals.
In 2022, Chelsea State Bank was awarded the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce’s Large Business Leadership Award. In 2023 the Bank was recognized as a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press, and in 2024, Chelsea State Bank ranked in the top 50 of the best-performing community banks in the Midwest with under $10 billion in assets, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence’s 2023 report.
“As a long-time Jackson resident and commercial banker with 15+ years serving the business community, I am eager to demonstrate our banking solutions to the esteemed Jackson Business Community,” said Thomas DuMont, Senior Vice President/Commercial Lending Manager, Chelsea State Bank. “Chelsea State Bank, a premier community bank, offers a unique approach to how we do business.
