Isabella Bank: A Model Community Bank
November 2009: Mr. Richard J. Barz, President and CEO of Isabella Bank, Mount Pleasant, Michigan proudly accepts a distinguished 4-Star Excellent rating from BauerFinancial, Inc., Coral Gables, Florida. The 4-Star rating is a symbol of excellence and signifies that Isabella Bank is recommended by BauerFinancial (the Nation’s Bank Rating Firm for over a quarter of a century). The rating is based on the overall financial condition of the bank. Earning a 4-Star Excellent rating denotes that Isabella Bank is among the strongest banks in the nation. Maintaining a recommended rating for 80 consecutive quarters, like Isabella Bank has, is an even greater achievement. 

“There’s an old adage that says no press is bad press, but if you’ve seen the banking news over the past year or two, you know this isn’t always true,” notes Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “That’s why it’s so important today to share some good banking news, and Isabella Bank makes it easy. Isabella Bank is a model community bank. You should be proud to call it Your Bank.”

Isabella Bank was established in 1903 and has been serving the banking needs of its neighbors and friends in Mid-Michigan for 106 years. It operates through 24 conveniently located offices and can be found on the internet at www.isabellabank.com.
