Hours: Monday through Friday, 8-5

Our St. Paul location was originally chartered in 1879, by brothers N.J. Paul and J.N. Paul, under the name Howard County Bank. The bank’s name was later changed to St. Paul National Bank. In 1884 N.J. Paul purchased the bank from his brother J.N. Paul. The bank remained in the Paul family until July 1984, when it was sold to CSB Co., the bank holding company that owns Homestead Bank. Prior to becoming Homestead Bank, the branch was named St. Paul Bank in 1996. It’s the oldest bank in Howard County in continuous operation for 143 years.

Currently there are 7 full-time and 2 part-time employees at the bank with an average tenure of 20 years. Isaiah Graham has been the Bank Manager since 2014 and oversees all of the operations and lending activities for the bank. He credits the bank success to his wonderful staff that are more of a family than co-workers as well as the St. Paul and surrounding communities that have allowed Homestead Bank to be on the financial journey with them through life, because it’s “your journey, your bank.”
