Horicon Bank is a commercial joint bank operating in Wisconsin.[1] It was established in 1896 by Daniel C. Van Brunt and currently has 17 branches across the state.[2]
History
Horicon Bank was founded in 1896, and its main office was constructed in 1915. It was formerly known as Horicon State Bank.[3] Within the span of the century, the bank has opened its branches in several locations across the state. Horicon Bank became one of the first banks to open after the Great Depression in 1929. A decade later, it acquired The First National Bank of Horicon.[4]
Robert Barney became president in 1960, but the ownership structure changed five years later when Barney and local industrialists purchased the Wilcox family's share, which at that time owned the Horicon Bank.[5] In the upcoming years, these local industrialists served as the presidents for fixed tenures.[6]
Horizon Bank holding company Sword Financial Corporation was established in 1978 to consolidate the bank's ownership while preserving its independence as a community bank. Later in 2004, Horicon State Bank modified its name to Horicon Bank.[7]
In 2020, Horicon Bank acquired Monotto,[8] a financial technology company from Atlanta, GA. As of 2021, the Sword Corporation and the Schwertfeger family are the largest stockholders of the Horicon Bank.[9]
