Westside State Bank is a regional banking institution that blends the conveniences of a larger bank with the local decision-making and personal interactions typical of a community bank. It traces its origins to 1906, when it first opened in Westside, Iowa. Over the years it expanded its service area to include communities across Iowa and Nebraska, with branches in Carroll, Halbur, Wall Lake, Westside, and Vail, and a Bellevue, Nebraska location planned. The bank emphasizes locally handled decisions and interactions with people familiar to the communities it serves. In September 2023, Westside State Bank announced the launch of FedNow instant payment capability through SHAZAM, reflecting a modernization of its payments services. The institution operates with a small to mid-sized staff, aligned with its footprint across multiple Iowa communities and the anticipated addition of a Nebraska location.
