A Sterling History

On October 14, 2003, it was with a great sense of community that a common group of individuals formed a relationship with an uncommon goal ... Building a Great Community Bank.

After a year of planning and preparation, on October 19, 2004 we then introduced to you, Sterling Bank; the first newly chartered bank in Poplar Bluff in nearly 40 years.

This is the foundation, a foundation with good answers, fast answers and local answers.  A foundation where this common group of individuals continue to reach for this uncommon goal.

On behalf of our employees, directors and shareholders, we want to thank you for being a part of and helping us build, a Great Community Bank!

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