Community Involvement

A Community Bank

Being rooted in the Fitchburg community means that we not only help our neighbors with their banking needs, but we serve the community and help it grow.

We have grown our roots in Fitchburg by getting involved in area events, projects and sponsorships that include Fitchburg Farmers Market, Fitchburg Concerts in the Park, Fitchburg Boys & Girls Club, and the Fitchburg Police and Fire Departments, just to name a few. Oak Bank is also a proud member of the Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce, the Verona Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce.

Our team understands the importance of helping our community and volunteering for causes that affect all of us. That’s why we donate our time and talents to service organizations like Easter Seals, Share Your Holidays, Fitchburg/Verona Rotary, Downtown Madison Rotary, 100+ Women Who Care - Madison, Altrusa International, Inc. of Madison, and more.

To see the organizations that we support and the happenings at Oak Bank, like us on Facebook!
