About Us

Columbus Bank and Trust Company is a locally owned, home town bank that originally opened its doors on February 2, 1935 and has remained in local ownership for over 80 years.

The Bradley Family took ownership in 1938 and retained ownership until July of 2013 when a local group of investors purchased the bank appointing Jeff Johnson as President and Chairman of the Board.

The Bank has grown substantially in many ways over the past few years. In 2004, the East Highway 30 location was opened, and since then several renovations to the main bank building have occurred.
