It’s an exciting time for us at Heartland Bank, and changes are happening everywhere.

Everyone needs furniture. Whether it’s a beanbag chair and a cardboard-box table, or a high-end sofa and imported side chairs, furniture has become a necessity even at a very basic level.

At Heartland Bank, our associates are our assets. In a time when businesses struggle to find and retain committed and qualified employees, Heartland is proud to refer to its associates as family and even prouder to share that many have five or more years of service. Eric Schworm is one of those assets, and as he approaches his five-year anniversary, he is one happy camper who plans on growing with the bank!
