Our Profile: Deep Roots in the Mid-America Heartland
Arvest Bank is a privately held, regional financial institution that is the primary subsidiary of Arvest Bank Group, Inc. The bank’s history dates back to 1871 with the founding of McIlroy Bank & Trust, but the modern Arvest organization began to take shape in 1961 in Northwest Arkansas. Arvest is substantially owned by the Walton family (founders of Walmart).
Headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, Arvest operates as a network of local community banks, blending the personal touch of local decision-making with the expansive resources and specialized services of a major regional bank. Arvest serves more than 110 communities across four core states: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, with total assets exceeding $26 billion. The bank is known for its stability, having avoided taking funds from the U.S. Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the 2008 financial crisis.
Core Business Segments
Arvest provides a comprehensive range of financial services to individuals, small businesses, and commercial clients:
- Retail and Consumer Banking: Offers traditional products like checking, savings, mortgages (including retaining the servicing of over 95% of originated loans), and a full range of consumer and small business loans.
- Commercial Banking: Provides comprehensive commercial lending, real estate financing, Treasury Management, and capital market solutions, often leveraging its specialized expertise in the agricultural sector.
- Specialty Lending: Key divisions include Arvest Equipment Finance and the Arvest Dealer Division (indirect auto/consumer loans), serving clients across its footprint.
- Wealth Management & Advisory: Services are delivered through Arvest Wealth Management, offering financial planning, investment advisory, trust, and insurance services to help clients manage and protect their assets.
The Arvest Distinction
Arvest’s core strength is its unwavering community-focused model, which allows its 14 locally managed banks to adapt quickly to local needs while benefiting from centralized technology and capital. Its mission, “People helping people find financial solutions for life,” guides its long-term strategy of delivering exceptional customer service and being an active partner in local economic development.
