The Company offers a variety of value-added consultative services for small business owners such as cost-saving Health Savings Accounts, Investment Management, Human Resource consulting and more. Some history: In a Certificate of Organization adopted on March 26, 1881, a group of community leaders agreed “to associate ourselves in a corporate body to be known as Beloit Savings Bank for the purpose of receiving the deposits of laborers, mechanics, servants, minors and others, and to loan the same for the benefit of such depositors.” S.T. Merrill was elected the first President of the bank. Secretary / Treasurer John A. Holmes was authorized, under the direction of the Financial Committee, to make all necessary arrangements in conformity to law for the opening of Beloit Savings Bank. It served its customers from 2 until 4 PM on Mondays and Saturdays from the 2nd floor of the D.S. Foster Building in downtown Beloit, Wisconsin. So it began in 1881 for the bank now known as Blackhawk Bank. Today, lead by President and CEO Dave Adkins, Blackhawk is the second largest bank in Beloit, Wisconsin and second in all of Boone County, Illinois.
