Joe Coday
President
A Coday family tradition of community banking that started in 1892 and still guides how we treat people today.
Neighbors first. Bankers too.
The folks who know your name, your town, and how to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. We’ve been your community bank since 1892 — and our people are a big part of why that still matters.
Stop in at Mansfield, Seymour, Norwood, Fordland, or Ava and you’ll meet neighbors, not nameless operators. This page introduces the leaders and bankers you’ll work with most often. If you don’t see someone listed, they’re still part of the family — just ask at the window.
