Carl Staats, Assistant Vice-President

Garden Plain State Bank was granted a charter by the State Banking Commission on December 12, 1966, and opened for business on December 21, 1966 in Garden Plain, Kansas. George D. Walden, the bank's first President, assumed additional duties as Chairman of the Board on July 13, 1988. In December of 1997, Patrick J. Walden was elected President.

The bank has enjoyed a steady growth since its inception. With a solid customer base already established in Garden Plain, the board of directors made the decision to expand into the Wichita market. In 1989 the Garden Plain State Bank opened its doors at 10526 West Maple in Wichita and followed that with branches at 1400 South Oliver (Parklane Center) in 1994.  From its beginning in 1966, the bank's capital has increased from $180,000 to $6,490,000 as of November 10, 2008.

Garden Plain State Bank offers a variety of accounts, from free checking for individuals to competitive checking accounts for corporations. Also, the popular ATM/debit card is available on most personal accounts which allows customers to get cash 24 hours a day. For the convenience of our customers, the Parklane branch maintains an ATM machine on the east side of the building. In addition to checking accounts the bank offers savings accounts, certificates of deposit, safe deposit boxes, and consumer and commercial loans at very competitive interest rates.

What sets the Garden Plain State Bank apart from other financial institutions is service. They are large enough to serve the larger businesses, yet small enough to provide that personal touch our customers deserve and expect.
