In August of 1904, the Bank of Benoit was established in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Since then it has maintained a strong commitment to local service. For over a hundred years that habit of service has been the steady mission of the Bank.

As the world has gotten faster and technology has gotten smarter, Genesis finds that what has been forgotten are people and their individual stories. People like for their banker to give them a chance to be heard and for their stories and lives to matter.

The Commercial Bank of Ozark was chartered in 1959 and has served the citizens of Ozark and Dale county to the present. Douglas Brown organized the bank because the financial needs for new construction were going unmet by the community's primary bank. Members of the initial board of directors included Douglas Brown, William C. Brown, E.E. Dorrah, E.E. Flowers, Harry Hall, E. Martin Price and Henry Steagall. The main bank office at 208 S. Merrick Avenue in Ozark is the original building and was constructed by Douglas Brown.

In 1998, the directors organized a one bank holding company, Commercial Bancshares of Ozark, to purchase stock from existing shareholders. The board of directors and some small shareholders own the holding company, and the holding company owns over 99 percent of the bank.

The purpose of this bank is to make a profit while serving the financial needs of its growing geographic service area, the area's smaller businesses (including minority-owned and businesses in depressed areas), and its citizens (including low-income families). We are in the financial services business and no line of financial services is beyond our charter.
 
This bank is a responsible citizens and a business leader in its service area. The bank takes its citizenship duties seriously and will not knowingly take actions that are against the best interest of its communities, their businesses, or their families. It will not make profits at the expense of these communities. The bank, its directors, officers and staff will take an active role in the community improvement and will share in leadership responsibilities when called upon to do so.
 
Customers are the bank's most important assets. The products are designed to meet the needs of customers, their hours are set to meet the needs of customers, and their employees are hired to meet the needs of customers. High quality, personalized customer service is the true mission of this bank. It is only through the accomplishment of this mission that the bank's profitability goals are achievable.

Troy Bank & Trust is a combination of hometown accessibility and service with a depth of resources that goes back more than a century. The ownership structure of Troy Bank & Trust is what makes us truly unique. Former Alabama Governor Charles Henderson owned 51.12% of the bank’s common stock at his death in 1937. He transferred those shares into a perpetual charitable trust, naming Troy Bank as the trustee, and further stating that the bank stock can never be sold. What this means is that Troy Bank will never be bought by another bank. You’ll never have the worry of changing your bank after a buyout. Troy Bank is now and will always remain a community bank.

At Troy Bank & Trust, we work to provide the best of a local community bank, along with the technology, tools, and resources you’d expect to find at a regional one. We invite you to come in and talk to us about any loan, investment, estate planning, or any other financial services you may require. You’ll likely discover that we’re the only bank you’ll ever need.
