Benton State Bank Announces Rebranding to Conservation First Bank
Benton State Bank, a trusted financial institution serving the tri-state area for over 131, is proud to announce its official rebrand to Conservation First Bank. This new name reflects the Bank’s longstanding commitment to financial stewardship while also highlighting its dedication to conservation and community-focused initiatives.

“Our new name, Conservation First Bank, positions us to appeal to a growing market of outdoor enthusiasts and expand our current reach while maintaining our focus on the tri-state area,” said Scott Freiburger, President & CEO of Conservation First Bank. “While our name and brand are changing, our core values remain the same — personal service, trusted relationships, and a deep commitment to our customers and our communities.”
The rebranding aligns with the bank’s ongoing initiatives to remain locally owned, growth oriented, and provide innovative financial solutions for individuals, families, businesses, and farmers.
