Welcome from our CEO

"Our mission is to provide a full range of banking, investment, and insurance services to our customers through convenient and innovative channels in a friendly, reliable, and trustworthy customer-focused manner.”

We are proud to be part of the Hy-Vee family of companies. Hy-Vee began operating in 1930 when Charles Hyde and David Vredenburg opened a small general store in Beaconsfield, Iowa. Today, Hy-Vee has grown to over 90,000 employee-owners and generates over $11 billion in annual sales from over 300 retail stores in eight states. Hy-Vee’s long-standing tradition of providing “a helpful smile in every aisle” truly expresses the foundation of the Hy-Vee philosophy.

As a subsidiary of Hy-Vee, Midwest Heritage is committed to serving you with a smile and giving you the attention you deserve. Our motto is “Helping you balance it all.” We achieve this by offering unmatched customer service to go with a wide variety of products and services. In addition to handling all of your traditional banking needs, we can also assist you with your financial planning and insurance.

We make banking easy…from accessing your accounts to applying for a loan, we work hard to ensure our service is fast, straightforward and friendly. We know not everyone wants to bank the same way, therefore we provide you multiple ways to access your accounts. Visit us in person at one of our eight locations, manage your accounts on our online banking platform or use our mobile app.

Our investment division assists you with your financial planning needs for whatever stage in life you are in. Our financial advisors offer a full line of products to help you build a comprehensive plan to fit your unique needs.

Our insurance division offers an extensive insurance product line that includes life/health, homeowner, auto and commercial services. In addition, we are one of the premier worksite agencies in the state of Iowa. We provide employers with products that help complement their core benefits and assist them with the recruitment and retention of their workforce.

Welcome to Midwest Heritage, we're excited to help you balance it all!"
