TS Bank Ames grand opening set for September 1
August 16, 2023
Ames, IA, August 18, 2023 - TS Bank is excited to announce its formal grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at its newest location in Ames, Iowa, at 402 Lincoln Way, on Friday, September 1 at 12:00 p.m. with a complimentary lunch and ice cream to follow. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, TS Bank was chartered in May 1923 with a mission to IGNITE PROSPERITY® and is dedicated to changing lives and communities across the Midwest.
TS Bank began exploring expanding to Ames in early 2019, ultimately purchasing the former Great Southern Bank location. This location opened as a loan production office in June 2020 and as a full-service branch location in April 2023. Since then, TS Bank has seen significant engagement with the community resulting in loan growth throughout central Iowa.
The lobby was remodeled earlier this year and includes a new teller line and branch area, new carpeting, lighting, furniture, the addition of three new offices on the main floor along with new landscaping. Those attending the grand opening event are invited to tour the renovated space. The bank location also features a Video ATM in lane two of its drive-thru where clients can conduct deposits, withdrawals, payments and make transfers between accounts along with other tasks without coming in the lobby or calling on the phone.
TS Bank recently hosted a yard party as part of the RAGBRAI festivities in Ames on Tuesday, July 25. Additionally, the bank was a booth sponsor at Ames Main Street Farmer’s Market this summer.
With $395 million in assets and eight locations in southwest Iowa, TS Bank specializes in consumer, business and ag banking along with cash management services for businesses. Much more than a bank, clients also have access to tax and payroll services in addition to investment, retirement and estate planning services offered by its trust division, branded TS Prosperity Group. The trust division oversees $260 million in assets under management (AUM) and is the largest C-Corp Iowa-based trust department west of Des Moines.
“We are excited to celebrate our most recent expansion into the Ames market. Story County is a great representation of what our company stands for and we are excited to partner with existing marketplace contributors to further IGNITE PROSPERITY® in the local communities,” said TS Banking Group President of Community Banking, Dave Wise. “We are a community bank that is dedicated to investing in the people, businesses and organizations who make our communities a better place to live. We are strong, secure, and excited to continue our legacy for another 100 years.”
As a community bank, TS Bank is an integral part of both the local community and economy. TS Bank is dedicated to community reinvestment and gives 10% of its net income back to the community. Additionally, the bank is committed to teaching financial wellness, hosting educational events and partnering with local nonprofits.
