Four States Bank Establishes Carthage, Missouri, Headquarters

11/20/2024
Four States Bank, a new bank charter, established headquarters operations in Carthage, Missouri. The more than $1.1 million project is expected to create 27 jobs.

“Four States Bank is the first new bank charter approved in the State of Missouri in nearly 16 years,” said Jeff Williams, President and CEO of Four States Bank. “We will ensure that we stay true to serving our communities with increasing expansion and job creation.”

The project is being supported by the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.

“We’re pleased to welcome Four States Bank to Carthage as it brings new opportunities to the community,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “Their presence in the southwest region is sure to strengthen the local economy while helping Missourians prosper for years to come.”

Four States Bank will operate as a wholly-subsidiary of Four States Bancshares, Inc., which has been approved by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as a Bank Holding Company. The company offers competitive deposit products, home loans, Small Business Administration guaranteed loans, USDA guaranteed loans, and Farm Service Agency loans.

“It is a sign of the strength of Carthage's economy when a new local bank opens in your town,” added Jeff Meredith, CEO of the Carthage Economic Development Corporation. “The Carthage Economic Development Corporation is thrilled to welcome Four States Bank and looks forward to the future economic and employment growth that can occur with this business investment.”
