Welcome
COMMUNITY MINDED
We, at the State Bank of Delphos and Ottawa County Bank, pride ourselves
on being community minded members of our respective communities. As we
continue to be successful, we intend to give back to our communities through
our volunteer services.
For over 20 years we have provided the OUR
CHECKING ACCOUNT program to USD #239 middle school/junior high
school. This has been a very well received learning experience for our
seventh and eighth graders. For many of them this is their first
experience with writing checks, making deposits, maintaining a check
register and reconciling their accounts. We hope that this develops
life long habits and aids them in becoming financially responsible adults.
This year the State Bank of Delphos and Ottawa County Bank will be
stepping up this education process with a web-based program produced by
EverFi. This is a digital learning platform for critical life skills
and will be required for all seniors at Minneapolis High School. (We
hope to offer this at Glasco High School also, but all of the necessary
arrangements have not been made at this time.)
This web-based program will provide learning modules for Saving, Banking,
Payments, Interest Rates and Credit Cards, Credit Score, Financing Higher
Education, Rent vs. Owning, Taxes and Insurance, Consumer Fraud and
Investing.
The cost of this program is being wholly underwritten by the State Bank
of Delphos and the Ottawa County Bank. Again, our goal is to develop
young adults who once they leave high school and home will use their
finances and credit wisely. We feel credit is a very useful tool when
used responsibly and we want to provide these students with the necessary
tools to learn these important skills.
The State Bank of Delphos and Ottawa County Bank, serving our customers
with
Commitment, Experience, and Quality Service.
Feel free to call our toll free number or stop by any of our three
locations to experience exceptional customer service.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - One of two wildfires burning in the hills and mountains around Interstate 5 north of Los Angeles was fully contained Saturday and authorities were getting an upper hand on the second one.
The 712-acre fire was contained late Saturday after breaking out Friday and briefly threatening an elementary school and about 20 homes, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
Some 350 firefighters battled the blaze Saturday amid unpredictable winds and rough terrain.
