A Brief History of Old Financial Trust
The Beginning - At 9 o'clock Monday morning, July 16, 1934, Old Financial Trust opened for business amid optimism that the problems of the Great Depression were in the past. A third of all U.S. banks failed to make it through the Depression, and to restore public confidence in the nation's banking system, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed legislation creating the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 1933.
Old Financial Trust opened for business in the building formerly occupied by the Bank of Cavendish. The Democrat-News reported on July 12, 1934, "The opening of the bank is expected to inaugurate a considerable stimulus to business." At opening, Old Financial Trust reported assets of $412, 325.
The Growth - In 1959 Old Financial Trust President L.D. Whitener and the Board of Directors hired local hatchery and feed business owner, Robert (Bob) E. Green, to work at the bank. Bob quickly took on more responsibility as he became a member of the Board of Directors, and was later appointed President upon the passing of Mr. Whitener in 1966. Over the years, the name Bob Green became synonymous with Old Financial Trust. Bob's constant effort to see that the Bank provide top quality personal service to its customers distinguished his leadership. Bob remained affiliated with Old Financial Trust until his death in 1996.
Today - Old Financial Trust continues today under Steve's leadership, as he is now Chairman & CEO. Mike Burcham of the Park Hills area became Old Financial Trust's fourth President in 2004. Old Financial Trust's top priority remains providing unsurpassed personal service. Bolstered by experienced staff, Old Financial Trust enjoys a reputation for being the area's most knowledgeable and friendliest place to bank.
