More than a year after opening the first newly chartered bank in Poplar Bluff in 40 years, Sterling Bank continues to mark it’s commitment to building a Great Community Bank …

From our state of the art facility to state of the art service …

From a Sterling Community to a Sterling Bank …

Where good answers, fast answers and local answers is not merely a slogan, but a way of doing business.

Thanks once again for being a part of and helping us build a Great Community Bank.

Yours truly,
Kenneth E. Poteet
Chairman and C.E.O
