Reliance Bank was initiated by a group of local investors who shared a common vision - to establish a locally owned and operated financial institution in the Athens/Limestone community. The Bank's officers and directors transformed that vision into a reality through hard work and dedication. On December 15, 1998, Reliance Bank opened its doors for business.

Reliance Bank prides itself on providing world-class customer service, local decision making and a warm and friendly environment. Our goal is for each customer to walk away from the Bank feeling better than when they first came in.

Since its inception, Reliance Bank has experienced tremendous growth. Recently, the Bank has expanded its footprint with a new location on Highway 72 East, just past Lindsay Lane. Currently, the Bank is utilizing a mobile facility at this location. Construction will begin on a permanent building in June. The Bank already has its sites set on a fourth location. In April, the Reliance Bank purchased a piece of property in East Limestone County at the corner of Capshaw Road and East Limestone Road. Plans are underway to have a facility in place within the next 12 months.
