March 2020: Coral Gables, Florida, BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nations Premier Bank Rating Firm, commends Fort Jennings State Bank, Fort Jennings, Ohio on its achievement of another 5-Star Superior Rating. Not only has Fort Jennings State Bank earned Bauer’s highest (5-Star) rating for financial strength and stability, it has maintained that top rating for 21 consecutive quarters. Earning this 5-Star rating indicates this bank closed out calendar 2019 excelling in areas of capital adequacy, profitability, asset quality and much more.
“As the president of BauerFinancial, I am often asked what it takes to be a 5-Star bank,” reflects Karen Dorway, president of the research firm. “Like so many other things in life, success in banking boils down to knowledge. Knowledge of banking, of course, but knowledge of its customers and the communities the bank serves are equally important. This intimacy enables the bank to steer clear of danger and work with customers for a common goal. It’s what gets so many community banks, like Fort Jennings State Bank, through the tough times unscathed.”
Fort Jennings State Bank was established in 1918 and has been working side by side with neighbors and friends for 102 years, helping to make the community what it is today. Currently, Fort Jennings State Bank operates through six conveniently located offices in Columbus Grove, Continental, Fort Jennings, Leipsic, Ottawa and Ottoville and can also be found online at fjsb.com.
