About Us

Civista Bank is focused on you. Rooted in relationship banking and strengthened by modern technology, we deliver personal service, local expertise, and tools that make managing your money simpler and more secure.

Our Mission

To improve the financial lives of our customers, employees, and shareholders, and to make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.

We believe banking works best when it’s built around people. That means putting your goals first, listening closely, and offering solutions that fit your life — not the other way around. Our commitment to service, transparency, and community strengthens every interaction you have with us.

Our executive team and board of directors bring deep experience across banking, finance, law, technology, manufacturing, and community leadership. Together, they help ensure Civista remains a strong, trusted, and forward-focused financial partner.
