Old Missouri Bank open for business at new banking facility

Old Missouri Bank (OMB) officially opened the doors of its new Mt. Vernon building on Monday, Feb. 25. The building is located at 510 W. Mt. Vernon Blvd. in Mt. Vernon,, the former home of Eli’s Short Stop. OMB was previously operating out of a temporary branch at 318 W. Mt. Vernon Blvd. and has permanently moved to the new location.
OMB broke ground for the new facility on Friday, May 18, 2018, at a publicly held event. The facility was designed by Paragon Architecture and Federal Construction was selected as the general contractor for the project. The new branch houses eight employees with room for added employee growth.
The Mt. Vernon branch is staffed by Joey Orr, community bank president; Cheryl Lathem, retail manager; and Carla Peterson, loan assistant. Operating hours of the branch are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. All customers can call the branch directly at 417-316-9288 for more information.
“We’ve experienced tremendous support from the community throughout the entire construction process,” said Orr. “Mt. Vernon is home for my family and I am looking forward to serving friends and neighbors as we continue to grow our community.”
Old Missouri Bank currently has seven locations; with additional offices in Springfield, Ash Grove, Walnut Grove, Buffalo and a Loan Production Office in Carthage.
