Until then, Alliance Bank will continue to operate as usual, ensuring a smooth transition for all our valued customers.

“Joining forces with Bennington State Bank aligns perfectly with our mission to provide personal banking experiences while maintaining our community-focused approach,” said Alliance Bank Chairman, Jeff Berkley. “We are thrilled about this partnership and look forward to continuing to serve our employees, customers, and the community with the same dedication and care that both institutions are known for.”

“This acquisition is an exciting milestone,” said BSB President and CEO Darren Gragg. “Partnering with Alliance Bank will allow us to deepen our roots in the Topeka area, offering enhanced services to both new and existing customers.”

After we transition Alliance Bank accounts to Bennington State Bank, your direct deposits (including Social Security, payroll or other ACH deposits) will credit to your new Bennington State Bank account automatically.

For best practices, please reach out to your payor to update the information. If you need assistance, please contact us.

I have automatic payments set up to pull from my Alliance Bank account. Will I need to change those?2024-11-07T13:07:31-06:00

No. Your automatic payments and withdrawals will transfer to Bennington State Bank upon conversion in January. The only exceptions are if you have payments set up using your Alliance Bank Debit Card number or through your Alliance Bank online Bill Pay. In those instances, you will need to update information. For Bill Pay, you will need to enroll in Bennington State Bank’s Bill Pay service and set up your payees and payments.

Will I be able to continue to use my Alliance Bank checks?2024-11-07T13:08:50-06:00

Since your checking account number will remain the same after the January conversion, you may continue using your Alliance Bank checks and deposit slips through the end of 2025.  Check orders placed in January and going forward will receive Bennington State Bank checks.

I have an Alliance Bank debit card. Will that continue to work in January?2024-11-07T13:10:17-06:00

You will receive a new Bennington State Bank debit card in early January before conversion. You will continue to use your Alliance Bank debit card until conversion. You may activate your Bennington State Bank debit card upon receipt; however, you will not be able to use it until your account transitions to Bennington State Bank.

Will my debit card PIN change?2024-11-07T13:10:46-06:00

Yes. You will receive debit card activation instructions with your new card and a PIN mailer with your new number. You will have the ability to change your PIN to the same PIN you have today when activating your new card.

Will my Alliance Bank online banking account transfer over to a Bennington State Bank online banking account?2024-11-07T13:12:59-06:00

Both consumer and commercial online banking services will transfer. You will receive more detailed information regarding online account access and your User ID and Password in a separate notification. Online access will be suspended for a period of time over the conversion weekend, Saturday, January 17th into Sunday, January 18th.  You will receive communication on the steps you need to take for a smooth transition to the new Online Banking platform.

Can I access Alliance Bank transaction history and copies of past statements and tax documents?2024-11-08T08:57:38-06:00

Please download any needed transaction history, statements, and tax documents from Alliance Online Banking before January 1, 2025. After the conversion in mid-January, these records will no longer be available via online banking. However, you will still be able to contact us to request copies if needed.

What happens to the payees I have set up in Alliance Bank Bill Pay? Will those transfer to Bennington State Bank?2024-11-07T13:14:07-06:00

Bill Pay information will not automatically transfer to Bennington State Bank. You will have the opportunity to enroll in Bennington State Bank’s online banking before the conversion in January. This will allow you to set up your payees and payment information in Bennington State Bank’s Bill Pay system before the conversion takes place.

Will my e-statement or paper statement preference transfer over to Bennington State Bank?2024-11-07T13:15:26-06:00

Yes.

Will I still be able to link my business account to Quickbooks/Quicken or another 3rd party?2024-11-07T13:15:54-06:00

Yes and after conversion this experience will be enhanced.

Will I be able to continue to use my Alliance Bank Credit Card?2024-11-07T13:16:17-06:00

Yes for now. You will be receiving communications from Bankers Bank of Kansas with information on getting a new card and timing to activate the new card. Your new card will have all the same features that you are accustomed to. You will be issued a new card number.
