Community Bank

A Bank Like No Other

For as long as civilization has existed, banking has existed.  In 1791, the First Bank of the United States was established.  The Revolutionary War had left the US in debt and some states were bankrupt.  Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, came up with the idea of the bank to handle the war debt and to create a standard form of currency.  Up to the time of the bank’s charter, each state issued its own coins and bills.  But today, the American Dollar is the only legal currency in our country, as well as the most predominant currency in the world.

Banking has come a long way from those early days of The First Bank of the United States.  Banking is now very tightly regulated and organized, inspiring a lot of confidence, something that is absolutely necessary where banks are concerned.  One such renowned bank is Community Bank.

In 1905, Community Bank first began operation in Forest, MS.  Today, they have grown from $200 million in assets and a couple of offices to more than $3.3 billion in assets, 51 offices, and over 815 staff-owners in four states.   

Community Bank operates in a way that connects convenience and technology.  Whether through their cutting-edge products and services like their CB2GO app and online banking or their Treasury Management Services for businesses, Community Bank customers have the ability to bank securely on the go.  Although, if you prefer having a friendly voice answer each time you call or having a staff member there to assist you at each of their 51 locations, Community Bank has you covered there too.  Built on recruiting and nurturing staff, staying up-to-date with current and new financial technologies, and keeping a strong focus on servicing local communities, Community Bank continues to expand and grow into markets all across the South in a way that holds true to their time-tested values.

Yes, banking has come a long way from its beginning, but the basic business practices have not changed; a bank’s main purpose is to protect their depositors’ money.  Community bank holds true to that promise.  They are genuinely, A Bank Like No Other.
