Country Bank, the Prescott area’s only locally owned and operated bank, opened in February of 2003 after realizing the desire of numerous community members for a bank with local decision making, staffed with experienced bankers.

M. P. “Brut” Brutinel, Chairman/CEO, whose banking roots date back to 1961 in Prescott, gathered an able and experienced Board of Directors consisting of Ben Andre, Roger Conant, Bill Fain, Dick Gerson, and John Turner to guide the bank.

Along with several of his past management team led by Dennis Wood, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Steve Burton, Senior Vice President/Chief Credit Officer, he has revived a nearly forgotten way of banking—a common sense philosophy, friendly, personalized service and a “can do” attitude.

Country Bank is a full service, technologically up-to-date bank, offering commercial, consumer and residential mortgage lending along with a wide variety of services and deposit accounts.
