Dennis Shaffer
Thank you for your interest in Civista Bank.  As CEO & President, it is my privilege to be a part of Civista's long history of community focused banking.

A commitment that is built on knowing you personally, making local decisions, and delivering the services to meet your daily and future financial needs with ease.

We continue to invest in technology, bringing you added security and the digital banking conveniences you expect. However you choose to bank with us - in person, from our app or online - you can be confident we're looking out for you.

I invite you to call or visit and talk with one of our trusted financial advisors. We look forward to meeting you.
