Kelcie McCreskey, Sydney Chatham, Bank Manager Tammie Cox, and Christy Ebarb, celebrate the anniversary of BOM Bank. BOM Bank has deep roots throughout Louisiana that are growing into Texas. 2023 marks BOM’s 120 anniversary. Bank of Montgomery opened its doors with $15,000 in capital in 1903. President and CEO, Ken Hale, said, “My great grandfather and other businessmen in Grant Parish came together to start a bank that would help their community of farmers, teachers, mechanics and their families. A century later, BOM is still committed to serving the same hardworking people now throughout seven parishes in Louisiana and two counties in East Texas.” Ken is a direct descendant of the Wardlow family and is the fifth generation of the family to run the bank and the sixth President & CEO. The bank has grown to 17 locations today, four of which opened in the last four years. The upcoming year will be no different with two locations being constructed in Rapides Parish. These new branches in Pineville and Woodworth will put BOM at nearly 20 different full service locations across Louisiana and Texas. Now surpassing $890 million in assets and $90 million in capital, BOM is eager to continue growing and loyally serving its 30,000 customers.
