MetaBankMetaBank and MetaBank West Central are a part of Meta Financial Group (formerly First Midwest Financial, Inc.) a bank holding company for a family of Midwestern banks. The MetaBank family of banks offers customers locally-based roots, local decision making and a strong commitment to helping its customers. It also benefits from the resources that a larger organization can offer its customers.
In 1954, a man named Stanley Haahr decided to start a new bank in Storm Lake, Iowa. He gathered up a handful of friends who kicked-in a total of ten thousand dollars. Enough to incorporate the Storm Lake Savings and Loan Association. On February 22, 1954, Haahr opened the doors with nothing more than a desk, a cash box and a borrowed vault.
Stanley Haahr didn’t start with a refined mission statement or a deep business philosophy. Instead, he preached one simple credo: "You’ve just gotta take care of the people".
We’ve changed a little since those early days. Stanley’s son no longer sweeps the bank floor at the end of the day (he’s now the Chairman). Customer accounts are updated with computers instead of pens and ten-keys. And that original $10,000 investment is now approaching a billion dollars in assets!
But what hasn’t changed is our commitment to helping people by making banking easier.
We understand that people don’t change banks every day. But we also understand that as your life changes, so do your financial needs. And so we built our bank around important life changes Yours.
Welcome to Change. Enjoy the Trip.
