Liberty Bank was founded in May 1998 by a group of investors led by W.A. Krause, the president of the Krause-Gentle Corporation, which owns the Kum & Go convenience store chain and Solar Transport which transports petroleum products, acquired the Lakes National Bank in Arnolds Park, Iowa. Beginning with a vision of creating a vibrant, progressive banking organization that blends the spirit and service of a community bank with the strength and resources of large bank, Liberty Bank has become a statewide banking network, offering 30 full-service locations across Iowa, including the branch here in IowaFalls, plus expanded locations in Illinois and Florida. From the start, Liberty Bank’s foundation has been built on a commitment to community banking and exemplary customer service. Knowing its customers and meeting their financial needs by remaining flexible and responsive has guided Liberty Bank in the past and present, and will continue to do so in the future. Liberty Bank was purchased by GNB in the 2016. They are still committed to serving the needs of their customers with all their banking needs. They have locations in Iowa Falls, Ackley, Conrad, Grundy Center, Manchester, Marshalltown, and Story City.www.gnbbank.com
