The banks were scored dependent on generally speaking proposals and fulfillment just as five subdimensions of trust, agreements, bank administrations, advanced administrations and monetary guidance.
Of the 4,978 FDIC-protected banks in the country, just 135 banks or 2.7% made the rundown which prohibits public monetary organizations with branches in no less than 15 states. Just five of these were in Oklahoma, and American Nation imparts this differentiation to City National Bank and Trust of Lawton, Bank of Oklahoma, IBC Bank, and Armstrong Bank of Muskogee. Out of these banks, American Nation is the most youthful, established in 1983, and has minimal workers with roughly 105.
ANB President Jess Cross said he knew nothing about making the rundown until after the article was distributed.
“Somebody at chapel came dependent upon me to praise me about getting into Forbes Magazine,” Cross said. “I knew nothing about it, so on Monday I came in and we found it, and sure enough there we were.”
Cross said he’s respected ANB was incorporated, however the genuine stars are the bank’s workers.
“In the event that you read the measures, this is actually an ‘attaboy to our representatives,” Cross said. “It shows that we’re amicable and obliging to our clients, and they like our administrations and monetary guidance.”

“The pattern right presently is towards combination, and that is not useful for the local area,” Cross said. “What you see on the public premise is these huge uber banks. They’ll get together every one of the stores and make advances out of state. So you lose that nearby flavor, and everything gets moved in bigger metro regions.”

“At the point when you come into the workplace, in the event that you have the entirety of your data we can generally settle on a choice while you’re in the workplace,” Cross said. “With a portion of these different spots they’ll need to send it up the chain and it could wind up being a week and a half before you see whether you’re getting the credit. That is the distinction locally bank.”
