The West Baden National Bank (now Springs Valley Bank & Trust) is located along Highway 56 (Broadway St) in West Baden, IN.

The bank was established in 1902 inside the very near West Baden Springs Hotel. It was moved to the current location in 1917 to expand operations.

Being a National Bank, they printed currency here in a limited amount through the years. From 1902 to 1935, the bank made 12 different varieties of currencies from $5 to $20 notes.
