The Officers and Board of Directors at Jefferson Bank & Trust have deep roots in the St. Louis community. For 125 years, Jefferson Bank has been an exemplary local bank. It comes down to a dedication to a simple business model of providing excellent customer service at a great price. We’re locally owned, fiscally sound, and uncommonly responsive on loan approvals.
Unlike many other St. Louis banks, Jefferson Bank is a truly local bank. Most of our customers and borrowers are from St. Louis. The deposits from our customers fund the loans our St. Louis bank makes to businesses and individuals throughout the local area.

The Local Bank Difference
Why should it matter to you if your bank is a local bank?
The real reason is because a local bank has its interests aligned with yours. Large National banks can make their earnings outside of St. Louis. They may use deposits from a Saint Louis branch to fund loans far away, and even internationally.
A local bank, in contrast, keeps your money within the community. When you do business with a local bank like Jefferson Bank & Trust, you directly impact the level of prosperity in the St. Louis community.
As a local bank, our officers and board of directors have a greater expertise in local business conditions. While most national banks may not understand St. Louis conditions, because we’re a local bank, our priority is to have a better understanding of what’s going on among local businesses and individuals than our competitors do.
That’s how we’ve provided better service as a local bank for the last 125 years.
A Local Bank is Safe & Secure
Much like when you bank with a national bank, a local bank like Jefferson Bank & Trust also has its accounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). You can still access all the same banking products and great technology like online banking and mobile banking. You don’t have to sacrifice great technological services for personal customer service when you use an excellent local bank like Jefferson Bank & Trust. We also provide friendly, personable, and knowledgeable service as a standard.
