About Us

Helping you and your business grow.
Community Bank of Lincoln opened its doors to serve the financial needs of the business community. Formed by business individuals who are part of the community, decisions are made locally by our own staff and Board of Directors in order to provide flexibility and responsiveness in serving our customers. Over the years we have discovered that our best advertising is word of mouth - our customers have told their friends and colleagues about our great service, providing a steady stream of new customers.

Helping local business grow.
The money deposited in our bank is re-circulated in our community, providing loans to local business and individuals. Through our affiliation with Capitol Bancorp Limited, we are able to make sizable loans to finance larger businesses. We specialize in business lending and enjoy helping businesses of all sizes grow and prosper, in turn helping our community grow and prosper.
