About NWSB

On March 6, 1908, the original New Washington State Bank opened on Main Street in New Washington, IN. The Bank was founded by a group of ten prominent business leaders and farmers who felt New Washington and the surrounding farming communities would be better served with a bank of their own. From our humble beginning in 1908, The New Washington State Bank has added branches in the surrounding communities of Henryville, Charlestown, Borden, Jeffersonville, Sellersburg, Scottsburg, River Ridge, New Albany, and most recently, downtown Jeffersonville on Spring Street. As a local bank, all decisions are made here in Southern Indiana and customers enjoy the personal banking relationships.

Because of our growth into the various communities, we modified our brand in 2015 to the initials, NWSB. With our new look came the addition of more services involving the areas of technology and accessibility. All banks offer a myriad of services, but at NWSB we desire to create relationships with our customers and the community. Our tag line says it all, Banking the Way You Want. We offer online banking and mobile apps with check capture, yet we are always here to serve you face-to-face. And we have fun doing it!
