Linden Leopard Branch of First State Bank & Trust Is Now Open

First State Bank & Trust Co. was pleased to have a successful grand opening of their newest "branch" - the Linden Leopard Branch of First State Bank & Trust Company. This branch is being opened to provide Linden students the opportunity to not only learn about savings and how banks operate, but to become savers themselves. We are building a community of economists at Linden and want these young people to become savvy savers.

The Linden account is only active at the Linden branch. Withdrawals are only allowed when the student leaves Linden or graduates from fifth grade. The bank will be open every Tuesday morning beginning at 7:30 a.m. to accept students’ deposits. Each deposit must be at least one dollar. Each student will have their own ledger to record their deposits. In lieu of interest, children receive incentives provided by First State Bank & Trust when they make deposits into their savings accounts – based on consistent savings and amount of savings.

The bank is staffed by students from the fifth grade. There are eight tellers who will work rotating shifts, a branch manager and marketing department of three. They are joined by a teller and marketing liaison from First State Bank & Trust Co.

Students must have a signed permission slip by a parent or guardian on file in order to participate. To download the letter and form, click here.

The First State Bank Hometown Career Support Scholarship is funded by First State Bank & Trust Company. It was created to help those outstanding and talented students who plan to attend a post secondary vocational, trade or technical school and, eventually, to help supply skilled persons, reducing shortages in our local labor supply. The scholarship has a two part benefit. It provides funds for tuition, books and board and room during the learning years and a twelve month financial benefit should you decide to work for a Fremont area firm upon earning your degree.
