Our History

Forreston State Bank was founded in 1887 in Forreston, Illinois. In 1998, its holding company, High Point Financial Services, purchased Kent Bank, which had served its local area since 1923, with offices in Kent and Freeport, Illinois.

In 2014, Kent Bank and Forreston State Bank merged to become one entity using the Forreston State Bank name.

In December 2019, High Point Financial Services purchased Poplar Grove State Bank. Founded in 1946, PGSB had two locations in Poplar Grove. By September 2020, our merger was complete and our new combined bank, now with five locations, was named Solutions Bank.

On July 30, 2021, Durand State Bank joined the High Point Financial Services family. On January 31, 2022 Durand State Bank merged with Solutions bank. 

We are focused on providing the best banking experience possible. Combining these banks into one allowed us to offer customers expanded products, services, and staff.
