<strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> welcomes you<br />
to our new location on Highway<br />
38 in Malta. We continue to be<br />
committed to this wonderful part<br />
of our county, <strong>and</strong> we hope the new<br />
building will bring an even higher<br />
level of service <strong>and</strong> convenience to<br />
our customers.<br />
<strong>Resource</strong> got its start as the First<br />
National <strong>Bank</strong> of Malta, which was<br />
founded in 1901. In those days,<br />
Th e new <strong>Resource</strong> branch in Malta<br />
Looking back,<br />
Looking forward<br />
new currency was delivered by<br />
train, <strong>and</strong> bank employees cut the<br />
bills from large sheets with a pair<br />
of scissors. Entries were made by<br />
h<strong>and</strong> in giant ledgers, <strong>and</strong> no one<br />
had thought to invent a steampowered<br />
ATM machine.<br />
We remained the First National<br />
<strong>Bank</strong> of Malta until we opened our<br />
Cortl<strong>and</strong> branch in 1988 <strong>and</strong> took<br />
the name <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> to refl ect<br />
our relationship with communities<br />
throughout the county. So, in some<br />
sense, we’ve come full circle in the<br />
opening of the Malta branch, <strong>and</strong><br />
we think this unique building is a<br />
fi tting marker of this milestone.<br />
The mural on our ATM <strong>and</strong> the<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scaping surrounding the<br />
building recall the prairie on<br />
which our economy was built. The<br />
limestone accents <strong>and</strong><br />
“The bank’s interior is<br />
open <strong>and</strong> beautiful,<br />
but very functional.”<br />
