Our History

Clarence Hill and George Henry opened the doors to their new bank at 206 N. Franklin St. in Port Washington, Wisconsin on Sept. 11, 1899 — less than a year after the Great Wisconsin Chair Factory Fire destroyed the town’s business district.

From this modest start, PWSB has grown to more than $637 million in funds and loan assets under active management. We rank in the top 15% of similarly sized Wisconsin commercial banks. Today, each of our eight full-service locations offers the services of a large bank with the personalized service you’ll only find at a fifth-generation, family-owned community bank.

Annual Report

Our Giving

In 2021, Port Washington State Bank was delighted to give back over $525,000 to the local community that entrusts them with their businesses, homes, and personal finances. The funds went to local charities, events and organizations listed below to maintain and protect the Wisconsin way of life for future generations to enjoy. PWSB donates not because they have to but because they want to. Giving back has truly become a hallmark of the bank, and it is a source of pride for its employees.
