Lincoln Savings Bank: Proud to Be Ranked the #1 Bank in Iowa

Since 1902, Lincoln Savings Bank has served the people of Iowa with integrity, personalized service, and innovative financial solutions.

Today, we are proud to be recognized not just by our loyal customers but by independent industry leaders as the #1 Bank in Iowa. For the second year in a row, Forbes has ranked Lincoln Savings Bank as the top bank in the state, solidifying our position as a trusted and forward-thinking financial partner. This recognition is a reflection of our commitment to our customers, our communities, and our core values. 

National Recognition, Local Roots 

There are over 4,000 banks in the United States. To be ranked #1 in Iowa — not once, but two years in a row — is a significant accomplishment. Forbes, in partnership with Statista, evaluates banks based on customer satisfaction, trust, digital services, financial advice, and branch services. We are honored to lead the state in each of these areas. 

But we don’t do it for the awards. We do it because we believe Iowans deserve a bank that delivers big-bank capabilities with hometown care. At LSB, we know your name. We support your goals. And we’re invested in the success of your family, your business, and your community.

  • Forbes #1 Bank in Iowa (2024 & 2025) 
  • Des Moines People’s Choice Awards – #1 Bank 
  • Dallas County – #1 Community Bank 
  • 5-star rated by real customers 
  • Additional 2025 community awards pending — stay tuned!

Why More Iowans Are Choosing LSB 

In today’s financial world, it can be difficult to know who to trust. National banks often feel too big and impersonal. Small banks sometimes lack the infrastructure or technology to keep up with your needs. At LSB, we bridge that gap. 

We combine: 

  • Employee ownership and personalized decision making 
  • Modern digital tools and mobile banking 
  • Exceptional customer service 
  • Comprehensive financial products for both individuals and businesses 

We understand that switching banks can feel daunting — but every day you stay with a bank that doesn’t prioritize you is a day you’re missing out on what LSB can offer.
