Specialties
Our family-owned community bank focuses on supporting the people and businesses where we live. Our guiding principles are service, speed & flexibility. Berkley Bank will strive to meet your needs, customizing the products and services to fit your personal style. Our products are designed with simplicity, low cost, and yields in mind. You will enjoy a superior level of personal attention and service where customers are names, not numbers.
By getting to know our customers personally, we're able to deliver a level of service that is far superior to most banks. Since we're experts in the industries we serve, our experience enables us to find solutions that other banks often can't and structure loan and banking packages that make sense for our customers. Because all loan decisions are made here at the bank by local management, we're able to move exceptionally quickly to support our customers and enable them to take advantage of opportunities.
These are the principles you can bank on:
Personal service. We appreciate your business, whether your accounts are large or small - and we go out of our way to show it.
The most nimble bank around. Chances are, your loan can be funded and you can have the cash in hand before other banks' loan committees even get around to meeting. Because of our expertise in real estate, we often structure loans that other banks can't.
No nickel and diming, no surprise service charges. All fees are clearly stated and are the lowest we can make them.
History
Established in 1892.
Berkley Bank is a branch of the State Bank of Downs, chartered in 1892.
The State Bank of Downs is a long standing community bank, headquartered in Downs, Kansas. Through a policy of conservative, responsible management - and by getting to know and partnering with our clients - we've weathered financial crises from the Great Depression to the 2008 recession and not only survived, but grown.
In 1961, the Berkley family purchased the State Bank of Downs and the family continues to be the Bank's stockholders. In 2007, the fourth generation of this banking family opened our Colorado branch to serve the individuals and businesses of the metro Denver area with the same policy of sound, conservative growth and flexible, personal service. Our difference is helping us achieve this growth.
