Better Banks/Farmers State Bank is still located on Main Street in the
original building, which dates back to 1819. During the past 25 years, the
bank has seen many changes. The most recent is the merger with Better Banks
in Peoria, Illinois, wherein the bank's name changed to Better Banks/Farmers State Bank-Astoria. We will continue to provide our customers the high quality service they are accustomed to and keep them informed of any future changes. We are always looking for new ways to serve our current customers, as well as acquire new customers.
