Specialties

In the winter of 1997, we opened our doors in Bronson after purchasing a building from a former bank. Since then, we have completed many renovations to continuously create an up-to-date and welcoming environment for our customers. The community of Bronson is proudly known for its Polish Heritage, and each summer, you can find our team celebrating with the city during the Polish Days Festival. Jose Albarran serves as VP, Branch Manager/Loan Originator of our Bronson Banking Center and has proudly been a part of the Sturgis Bank and Trust family for over 25 years. He is equipped with two decades of loan origination experience and offers bilingual customer service. His team of professional bankers is happy to help you with personal lending services, deposit and transactional products and services to fit your specific needs. For customer convenience, we also offer a drive-through teller line and ATM.

History

Established in 1905.

At Sturgis Bank, our roots run deep in small-town communities. Founded in 1905 by local businesspeople with a simple yet powerful mission--to help neighbors achieve affordable homeownership. Over a century later, our mission has grown, but our heart remains the same. As a full-service financial institution, we offer mortgages, commercial lending, and personal and business banking solutions across six Southwest Michigan counties. Choosing a hometown bank means more than convenience--we deliver the personal care and attention big banks can't match. To us, community means more than a physical location; it's our heart and soul. From volunteering with local nonprofits to sponsoring events that bring people together, we're committed to empowering the towns we call home--because together, we thrive.
