Luana Savings Bank has begun construction on a new branch facility in Ossian, IA immediately adjacent to the current facility. As Luana Savings Bank continues to grow, we also deepen our roots in the local, rural communities that we serve.

Luana Savings Bank has been awarded a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

"The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it's all about fancy perks and benefits." says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. "But to be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day - the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what's most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it's going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together." Claffey adds, "Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn't have a shot at being named a Top Workplace."

David Schultz, President of Luana Savings Bank, comments on the award, "Every institution's success starts at its core. Employees who feel respected, appreciated, and connected to their workplace will drive the business forward and we certainly realize this here. We have such a great staff and are honored to receive this award – it reaffirms that we are providing a healthy work environment and a promising future to both our staff and our customers."

Luana Savings Bank is excited to announce that our entire website has been re-designed to accommodate viewing on hand-held mobile devices! We've been closely monitoring mobile trends for several years, and over the past few months every single page of our website - more than 80 in total - were re-coded and tested with popular mobile hand-held devices.

Presentation of content on a mobile hand-held device is done through narrow, very tall pages that are 'scrolled'. A traditional device, on the other hand, has a wider display where content layout is optimized with emphasis horizontally. Traditional mobile website conversions are unfortunately many times a compromise: Mobile users receive access to limited content, and desktop/tablet users receive a less efficient, overly-simplified interface. Luana Savings Bank provides the same core content to ANY device, and hasn't changed the experience for our desktop/tablet users.

Have you ever accessed a website from a hand-held mobile device and been presented automatically with a mobile version of site, but then wanted to view the traditional website? With LuanaSavingsBank.com, simply rotate your device from 'portrait' to 'landscape' mode!
