“Being born and raised in Versailles, this community is a big part of who I am,” Stonebraker stated. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to serve the people and businesses of my hometown again.”
“We have some really great people that are going to be here,” James added. “Brian and Shane will be driving the bus as we expand our personal services to the village of Versailles.”
This will be GNB’s 11th location, offering a full array of services including business and personal deposit accounts, commercial and consumer loans, a 24 hour drive-thru ATM, security deposit boxes, and a coin machine.
