RCB Bank History
Friendly in service and progressive in spirit.
RCB Bank is a hometown community bank, founded in Claremore, Oklahoma, in 1936 during the Great Depression. Today, RCB Bank is one of the largest Oklahoma-owned banks by assets, serving more than 50 locations across Oklahoma and Kansas.
RCB Bank first opened its doors for business on Saturday, January 4, 1936, at 9:00 a.m. It was known then as Rogers County Bank and consisted of one branch. The bank began as an entrepreneurship with L.S. Robson and George Davis during the days of the Great Depression. From day one in the lean times of the Great Depression, the Bank worked to become a strong and reliable financial institution within the community and those efforts quickly resulted in growth of the company.
The Bank ended the first year with a profit, a feat the Bank has repeated every year since.
In 1990, Rogers County Bank’s name was changed to RCB Bank due to its expansion outside of Rogers County and into surrounding counties. Since the first acquisition in 1990, additional branches have been acquired or built to expand our footprint across Oklahoma and Kansas.
Our motto, “That’s my bank!” was officially adopted as the Bank’s slogan in the 1970’s, along with the defining characteristics of our company: RCB stands for Relationships, Community and Boldness!
