BOM Bank
BOM Bank (formerly the Bank of Montgomery) was established in 1903 in Montgomery, Louisiana by local businessmen who saw a need for a financial institution to meet the needs of Grant Parish. Today, the bank remains a family owned institution that provides old-fashioned community banking. But BOM is also an innovator, which enhances the community banking experience with modern conveniences such as mobile banking. It has been a winning formula for the bank, which has enjoyed rapid growth in recent years, from $18 million in 1996 to over $209 million in 2014.
