Marion County Bank is pleased to announce an important leadership transition as the bank looks to the future.

Following a thoughtful and planned succession process, the Board of Directors has appointed Klint Korver, currently serving as Chief Financial Officer, as Chief Executive Officer of Marion County Bank.

Klint has been a trusted member of the bank’s leadership team, bringing experience in financial strategy, operational leadership, and long‑term planning. His deep understanding of Marion County Bank’s culture, markets, and strategic priorities positions him well to lead the organization into its next chapter.

A Strong Foundation of Leadership

Klint’s path to leadership reflects both deep roots at Marion County Bank and valuable experience gained beyond it. He began his career at the bank in 2004 as a consumer lender, later moving into commercial lending and developing an early appreciation for relationship‑based banking. Klint went on to spend a decade in Southern California serving as Chief Financial Officer for a materials company, where he gained executive experience in financial oversight, operations, and strategic leadership.

Most recently, he served as Marion County Bank’s Chief Financial Officer prior to his appointment as CEO. Paired with his professional experience is a strong commitment to community, including his service as treasurer of the Pella Athletic Booster Club—reflecting the same dedication to people and relationships that has shaped his career.

Looking Ahead with Confidence

Bryce Dahm, Marion County Bank’s Chairman of the Board, expressed confidence in the transition, stating:

“Klint is a proven leader with a clear vision for the future of Marion County Bank. His experience, strategic mindset, and commitment to our customers and communities make him the right choice to serve as CEO as we look ahead.”

This leadership transition coincides with the retirement of Steve Kraayenbrink, who will conclude his service at the end of March after a distinguished career with Marion County Bank, including more than 15 years as President and Chief Executive Officer. “Under Steve’s leadership, the bank experienced sustained growth, completed the first bank acquisition in its history, and strengthened its commitment to relationship‑focused banking.

Reflecting on his career, Steve shared:

“Serving Marion County Bank and its customers for the past 42 years has been an incredible honor. I am deeply grateful for the many customers I’ve had the privilege to work with and for the trust they placed in our bank year after year. Those relationships, along with the people I worked alongside, are what have made this work so meaningful, and I am confident that Marion County Bank will continue to thrive under Klint’s leadership.”

Klint also expressed appreciation for the foundation that has been built and enthusiasm for the road ahead:

“I am honored by the Board’s trust and grateful for Steve’s leadership. I look forward to leading Marion County Bank forward alongside our dedicated team.”

Klint will serve on Marion County Bank’s executive team alongside Kevin Bolt, Bank President, and Lisa Walters, Executive Vice President.

Continuing a Legacy of Community Banking

Marion County Bank remains committed to fostering strong financial relationships and supporting the communities it serves. With assets exceeding $645 million, the bank has grown to become the largest bank chartered in Marion County and has proudly served the region for more than 90 years.

As Marion County Bank looks ahead, this leadership transition reflects both continuity and confidence—honoring a strong legacy while embracing the future.
