Congratulations to The Killbuck Savings Bank Co. on being named the 2026 Board of Directors Award recipient!

Established in 1900, The Killbuck Savings Bank Co. is a community-focused financial institution offering a full range of personal and business banking, lending, and e-banking services. Headquartered in Killbuck, Ohio, the bank emphasizes local decision-making and reinvestment of deposits into the communities it serves. Recognized as a strong, well-capitalized institution, The Killbuck Savings Bank Co. has earned a 5-Star BauerFinancial rating for 138 consecutive quarters and operates 12 branches across Holmes, Wayne, Knox, and Tuscarawas counties.

President and CEO Rachel Miller leads a team of 158 employees across the bank’s 12 locations. She oversees overall strategy, long-term growth, and expansion efforts, including the opening of the bank’s newest Wooster office in 2025, which coincides with its 125th anniversary. Expanding into Wooster marked an important milestone as the bank’s first official move into a city, further deepening its roots in Wayne County.

Community involvement is a cornerstone of the bank’s culture, and its employees have contributed more than 3,000 volunteer hours across its footprint. Team members serve on local nonprofit boards, including United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties, the Mental Health & Recovery Board, the Home Builders Association, and actively support the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce through committee involvement and events such as the Home & Garden Show.

Beyond volunteerism, the bank champions financial literacy through partnerships with local schools and provides financial support for community projects and organizations. These efforts reflect the bank’s core values of honesty, fairness, and hard work. As Miller shared, “We are fortunate that our communities support our continued success, and in turn, we feel it is our responsibility to share that success.”

Receiving the Board of Directors Award is a meaningful recognition for the entire Killbuck Savings Bank Co. team. The organization is grateful for the support of its dedicated team members, loyal customers, and engaged board of directors. Looking ahead, the bank remains focused on continued growth, expanding its community impact through volunteer service and financial support.

The Board of Directors Award is presented annually to an individual or company who has made significant contributions to the Chamber and Community throughout the years.
