History of WNB Financial

Since 1874 WNB Financial has been an important part of the heritage and history of Winona, MN. WNB Financial’s downtown building was erected in 1916, originally housing both the Winona Savings Bank and the newly formed Winona National Bank.

Shortly after the historic building at 204 Main Street opened, the two banks merged to form "Winona National and Savings Bank". In 2001, Winona National and Savings Bank merged with its sister-bank, Town and Country State Bank, to once again form "Winona National Bank". At the time of this merger, both banks were subsidiaries of WNB Holding Company. The merger allowed a consolidation of processing, combining of expertise, and three convenient locations in Winona: East, West, and Downtown. In 2017, a loan production office was opened in Eau Claire, Wis., to expand commercial loan services into the Chippewa Valley.

A new name, WNB Financial, was announced in June 2018 to help support our long-term objective for continued growth in and outside of Winona.
