Greenville College Announces New Partnership with Greenville Bank

GREENVILLE, Ill. – Greenville College has announced its selection of Greenville Bank, a division of Effingham State Bank, to provide the college's banking services.  The partnership began April 1 of this year. Since April 2001, Greenville College 's banking services were primarily managed by Bank of America in St. Louis, Mo. The selection of Greenville Bank was made after sending eight requests for proposals to the five local banking institutions in Greenville and three in the St. Louis metro area.  Six of the eight banks offered proposals.

“Greenville Bank was selected for its ability to provide required banking services locally at the most competitive rates,” said Rick Rieder, vice president for finance and chief financial officer of Greenville College.

As part of the present agreement, Greenville Bank will provide internet-based cash management, depository and other loan services, and merchant services.

“Our institution is pleased to have been selected to partner with Greenville College in providing needed financial services,” said Duane Satterwhite, president of Greenville Bank.  “Greenville Bank is a full-service institution that emphasizes delivery of quality and value-added service in a timely manner to its customers.”

Greenville College is a four-year accredited Christian liberal arts school with more than 1,300 traditional undergraduate, graduate, and adult degree completion students.  Founded in 1892, the college is affiliated with the Free Methodist Church.

Greenville Bank is committed to the development of its community, customers, and potential customers.  The bank is dedicated to going beyond the “traditional” behaviors of community banks, offering unique and value-added products and convenient banking services.

Greenville Bank is known for building business relationships by offering an array of business banking services such as commercial loans, online cash management services, and trust and investment services.

Greenville Bank is a member of Midland States Bancorp Inc., located in south central Illinois.  The bank has over 120 years of successful community banking history and continues to meet the ever-changing requirements of a competitive industry.
