Company Overview

Old Glory Bank is an FDIC-insured bank that offers the best mobile banking solutions for consumers and businesses, from sea to shining sea (in all 50 states). Old Glory Bank is committed to serving those who feel marginalized for believing in the greatness of America. Old Glory Bank was co-founded by some of the leading voices supporting freedom and love of country, including former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson; Radio and Television Host Larry Elder; country music superstar, TV host, entrepreneur, and songwriter, John Rich; and former two-term Governor of Oklahoma Mary Fallin-Christensen.  

We put our customers, community, family, and faith ahead of ourselves.  While our home base is our 120-year-old bank in Elmore City, Oklahoma, our team members work to serve our customers remotely from across the country.  At Old Glory Bank, there is no DEI or ESG, just PSL – Privacy, Security, Liberty.  In less than 3 years, we grew from $10 million in deposits to now over $250 million. 

We recently announced that we will be becoming a public company, listed on NASDAQ via De-SPAC transactions, and we intend to be the first chartered bank to fully integrate crypto into daily banking.
