In the latest issue, CIO Insights describes Old Glory Bank as “a rising leader that has captured the attention of the financial world with its bold vision, rapid growth, and modern approach to banking.”

The article, titled “Old Glory Bank: Championing Financial Freedom through Innovative Products & Traditional Values,” highlights the bank’s commitment to serving customers who value faith, family, and freedom. It explores Old Glory Bank’s leading-edge digital infrastructure, secure mobile banking platform, and bold stance against the politicization of financial services.

Thomas continues, “As we look toward 2025 and beyond, it is clear that Old Glory Bank is well positioned to not only continue its impressive trajectory but to help shape the future of the financial industry itself.”

We’ve built a financial institution that rivals the biggest banks in innovation, and still honors the values of hard-working, patriotic Americans.”

CIO Insights traces Old Glory Bank’s origins over 100 years ago as the first state-chartered bank of Oklahoma, to its historic transformation in 2022, led by its patriotic co-founders Dr. Ben Carson, John Rich, and Larry Elder, to become a bank that stands up against debanking and overreaching government. This strong purpose has fueled Old Glory Bank’s growth, which has gone from approximately $10 million in deposits when the first digital account was opened in 2023, to over $220 million in deposits. To achieve this growth of over 2,000%, Old Glory Bank has crafted the ideal formula of forward-thinking innovation and trust-inspiring personal service to its tens of thousands of customers.
