FNC Bank is a third-generation locally owned community bank offering a complete line of personal and business banking services for more than 100 years .
Chartered on August 1 , 1919 , FNC Bank ( a . k . a . First National Community Bank ) began its ’ history in the New Richmond Area . Henning Soderberg , a draft clerk at the then Bank of New Richmond , learned the banking industry by taking grain drafts , opening and closing bank windows , and sweeping the sidewalks . His love for the trade continued to grow and on January 5 , 1926 , Henning became a bank cashier at the First National Bank , thus beginning the Soderberg family banking history .
On June 1 , 1964 , Henning ’ s son , John Soderberg , began his career at the bank , under the watchful eye of his father Henning . John learned about banking from the ground up by working in various positions for several years , and eventually succeeded his father as President and CEO upon Henning ’ s retirement in 1987 . John understood that a bank needs to have a larger presence to successfully serve a region such as Western Wisconsin , and he oversaw expansion of the bank to branches in Somerset , Hudson , and Dresser .
In 2012 , John began the succession process which brought his son Scott and daughter Libby into the fold to continue his community banking legacy . Scott took the reins as CEO in 2020 , ushering in another generation of Soderberg leadership and reinforcing the commitment that FNC Bank remain a community-focused institution .
FNC Bank remains committed to supporting local businesses and residents in achieving their financial goals . As a community bank , we strive to provide exceptional service and build meaningful relationships with our customers and community members . As a community partner , we have a responsibility to assist in the growth and success of our local communities through service , area partnerships and financial means .
Experience the difference when you work with a hometown bank that understands and supports our local communities .
