For more than a century, the Carson family has been an active part in elevating our community. As we enter into a new era, we are proud to present a unified community bank that is committed to you. The Bank of Commerce and Peoples Bank have merged under one name: Carson Community Bank. While we’ve updated our name and logo, we remain your locally-owned bank committed to building a better community through our bank branches and our philanthropic efforts.
We are proud of all the things we have accomplished together, and look forward to offering the same exceptional service, with decisions made by our financial experts in your local branch. Over the next few months, we’ll be upgrading our look and our online banking features; but one thing will always stay the same – our promise to deliver honest, responsive banking services headquartered right here at home.
We value your loyalty and continued business. Thank you for allowing us to serve you now, and for the next century.
"The mission of Carson Community Bank and its affiliates is to serve as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth and financial sovereignty within Adair, Cherokee, and Delaware Counties. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible banking services that address the unique systemic challenges faced by Native American communities and rural populations in Northeast Oklahoma. By bridging the gap between traditional capital and underserved markets, we empower our neighbors to build generational wealth and a resilient local economy."
