RiverBank was originally chartered as a State Savings and Loan Association in 1971 with its home office located in Corning, Arkansas. Shortly after purchase, the Association opened the Pocahontas branch on Old County Road near Walmart. In 2015, RiverBank converted the charter to an Arkansas State Chartered Bank and changed its name.

RiverBank purchased its Pocahontas main location in 2018, which was a locally known historic landmark. Restoration began to restore the historic features of the building itself, and after opening the branch in 2020, RiverBank was proud to announce that the building was named a Nationally Preserved Historic Building. The history was preserved thanks to several friends who gave insight and photos of the building at its birth in 1960. The preservation process was successful in bringing the history of 1960 to date in 2020.

RiverBank holds a 5 star rating from BaurFinancial, one of the most respectable financial rating agencies in the nation. A 5 star rating from BaurFinancial is defined as superior, meaning BeauFinancial recommends RiverBank to potential customers across the U.S.

RiverBank prides itself that it reinvests deposits locally and does not pull deposits from rural communities only to lend in big city markets. RiverBank’s decisions are all made locally by the people most affected and informed-not a committee that resides in another community.
