The Du Quoin State Bank was chartered and opened for business on April 17, 1915, on the west side of town in a long and narrow building. The building was later remodeled and became part of the Du Quoin Eagles Lodge. In 1939, the Bank

purchased the present banking quarters from the Trustee of the First National Bank of Du Quoin. The Trustees of the defunct First National Bank continued to receive payments to complete the dissolution of the Bank.

In 1977, to provide for continued bank growth, a complete remodeling and addition, including the new drive-in area, was undertaken and completed June 1, 1978. On March 5, 1979, the Jabr family of Carbondale, Illinois purchased 80% of the outstanding bank stock through a tender offer. They owned the bank until early 1984.

In 1984, the Bank was purchased by several local businessmen. Shortly thereafter, a portion of the bank stock was sold locally to customers and supporters of the Du Quoin State Bank. Since this purchase, the Du Quoin State Bank has been focused on the Hometown Commitment of a community bank.

To better serve the customers of the Du Quoin State Bank, there are two conveniently located branches. The Southtowne Facility, which is located on Highway 51 South in Du Quoin. The second branch is the Tamaroa Facility, which is located on Highway 51 North in Tamaroa. This branch was closed in 1993 and re-opened in 1995. There was a need in the Village of Tamaroa and the surrounding areas for a banking institution. Du Quoin State Bank met that need. That branch is a successful addition to the Du Quoin State Bank and the community of Tamaroa.

Daniel R. Fulk, a Du Quoin native and former FDIC Examiner, holds the position of President and Chief Executive Officer. Other Bank Officers and Du Quoin natives are: Todd Kuhnert, Executive Vice President and Denise Crain, Asst. Vice-President. John Rednour Sr. is Chairman of the Board of Directors and Major Stockholder. Ownership remains local and the assets are currently exceeding the $90,000,000.00 mark.
