We were born out of Canyonville, Oregon, a small timber town nestled along the South Umpqua River. The small and hardworking community came together to build what they needed: a school, a church, a grocery store, a diner, an auto shop. When they decided they needed a better place than the local watering hole to cash their checks, they came together and built a bank. And in 1953, South Umpqua State Bank opened its doors.
We’ve grown a lot since then, but our values have stayed strong. We believe in the can-do spirit. We believe in the power of community. We believe in supporting local businesses. We believe in giving back. And we believe that when it comes to banking, people should always come first.
