We are a growing, $4.2 billion institution with plans to further expand as opportunities present themselves. With our roots firmly planted in Perryville, Missouri, we continue to grow; evolving and expanding with our amazing team, customers and communities.

Those principles are the reason we are still in business today: caring for people and communities is our foundation. With every financial decision we make, we bear those values in mind, every time. We are proud, but above all, very privileged to say, “We’ve been community banking since 1891.” We look forward to the bright future which lies ahead for the shareholders, employees, customers and communities served by The Bank of Missouri.
