Money Smart Week, a nationally-sponsored campaign dedicated to helping families better manage their financial resources is held the last week of April. To support this program, Huron Valley State Bank hosted a poster contest for elementary age students in the Huron Valley district and presented a segment on financial literacy to families at the Highland White Lake Business Association’s Money Camp.

Huron Valley State Bank (HVSB) and three local elementary schools, Spring Mills, Johnson, and Heritage celebrated the success of the Bank-At-School program. This is a student-run bank located inside of the school that teaches hands-on financial literacy, money management, and provides for real life banking experience. Students applied and interviewed for positions earlier in the year, and were trained for actual banking positions to accept money from their fellow classmates to deposit into the bank. The schools celebrate the end of the year program with a ceremonial pizza party where all student bank customers and bankers enjoy food, fun and fellowship.

 As a community bank, the employees of Huron Valley State Bank embrace giving back to the community. The monthly “Casual for a Cause” program occurs the last Friday of every month which allows bankers to dress casually and collectively contribute to worthwhile causes. In 2016, the bank raised over $1,500 in monetary donations.

Jack Shubitowski, President and CEO of Huron Valley State Bank, is pleased to announce that Matilda "Tilly" Williams has been appointed to Vice President / Credit Manager. In her role she is responsible for managing all credit functions for the commercial banking group.

Tilly joined the team at Huron Valley State Bank in late March of this year. She has over 35 years of banking experience, twenty five years focused in Commercial Banking and Credit. She most recently served as Regional Credit Officer of the Business Banking Credit Administration for First Merit Bank (previously Citizens Republic) where she was responsible for Commercial Credit Approval for a large portion of the bank's commercial footprint.

Huron Valley State Bank is pleased to announce the partnership with Heritage Elementary School for the "Bank at School" program. The bank opened for business on Friday, October 21st after a ceremonial Ribbon Cutting at 9:15 am, and will operate the third Friday of every month. This is the third elementary school partnership for Huron Valley State Bank.
