When the Decatur County Bank decided to open a financial center in Jackson, bank officials got the visibility it was looking for in a high traffic area at 1270 Union University Drive in Thomsen Farms.

West Tennessee Bank (WesTN Bank), a division of Decatur County Bank, opened its first branch in Jackson, July 18, and held its grand opening, Friday.

“Everyone with the organization has previous banking experience,” said Wendy Coady, branch manager, “We wanted to be in the middle of a growing area … people are familiar with the location, the traffic count is excellent, and we’ve been well received.”

Business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Fridays.

The drive-thru is open 9 a.m. to Noon, Saturdays.

Established in 1899, Decatur County Bank was the first bank in Decatur County.

West Tennessee Bank was established in 2010, and opened a temporary office in the Honeye Plaza in Henderson before moving into its permanent location at 1007 U.S. Highway 45 North.

The bank also has locations in Decaturville and Parsons.
