SSB celebrates 95 years of serving local communities

Shelby State Bank is proud to celebrate 95 years of serving local families, businesses and organizations across West Michigan. Since 1931, the bank has been more than a place to manage finances — it has been a neighbor, a trusted partner and a committed supporter of the communities it calls home.
For nearly a century, SSB has grown alongside the people and towns it serves, while staying true to the same values it was founded on: personal service, local decision-making and a genuine commitment to helping communities thrive. From supporting small businesses to helping families reach important milestones, the bank has built its legacy one relationship at a time.
“For 95 years, it has been our privilege to serve the people and communities who have placed their trust in Shelby State Bank,” President and CEO Mishelle Comstock said. “This anniversary is about more than the years behind us — it is about the relationships, shared successes, and community spirit that have shaped who we are. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to be part of our customers’ lives and look forward to serving our communities for many years to come.”
To mark this special milestone, Shelby State Bank will host a weeklong anniversary celebration from June 22 through June 26 at all branch locations, welcoming customers and community members to stop in, celebrate, and share in the joy of nearly a century of local banking.
Today, Shelby State Bank continues to serve West Michigan through 9 full-service locations, remaining dedicated to responsive service, local leadership, and meaningful community partnerships. As the bank celebrates 95 years, it also looks ahead with the same commitment that has defined it for generations: being a dependable financial partner and a caring presence in the communities it proudly serves.
