A new profile of The Bank of Kilmichael tells how a family owned community bank is bringing tailored financial services to small towns in Mississippi. The Bank of Kilmichael was formed in 1904 and has been in the hands of the Mortimer family for four generations. It is the kind of Southern hospitality bank where employees know their customers by name. “The bank’s employees have remained loyal to that friendly customer service,” said Buddy Mortimer, president and CEO of the bank. “As a certified CDFI, we have demonstrated a track record of effectively serving these un-banked areas with loan and deposit services.” Bank of Kilmichael intends to expand to a fourth branch in Eupora, Mississippi later this month.
