Long-Standing Tradition of Community Focus Now in Columbia

What the Business Pros Know with Brad Roling

Mid America Bank is proud to be a locally owned and operated community bank in central Missouri. With a strong history of exceptional customer service, Mid America Bank has banking roots going back over 100 years. The original bank charter can be traced back to People’s Bank of St. Thomas in 1914.

Traditions and history of Mid America Bank

In 1951, the government ordered the bank to relocate. The bank relocated to Meta, where it became known as Meta State Bank. With the addition of its second location in Linn in 1978, the bank was renamed Mid America Bank to reflect its growing market. Since then, the bank has seen outstanding growth and transformation while still remaining a truly locally owned and operated community bank.

Traditions and history of Mid America Bank

Over the years, branches have been added in Wardsville (1993), Holts Summit (2006), Belle (2008), and most recently Jefferson City (2020). In 2022, Mid America Bank acquired Bank of St. Elizabeth and added the locations of Freeburg, Marys Home, Osage Beach, and St. Elizabeth, bringing the total of convenient, fullservice branch locations to 10. The bank also has two Loan Production Offices in Columbia and Lake Ozark.

We are proud to offer the wide variety of services of a larger bank while remaining small enough to keep our finger on the pulse of customer and community needs. You’ll find the bank’s associates friendly, reliable, and community focused. Mid America Bank is extremely proud to help and serve the banking needs of its friends and neighbors. This philosophy motivates all levels of our organization, from our Board of Directors to each and every associate.

Since its inception, Mid America Bank’s primary mission has been, and continues to be, serving the banking needs of the people living in and near the communities we serve. As a product of and leader within our community, we take community needs seriously. In 2022, we were proud to support over 400 local organizations by providing donations, sponsorships, volunteer efforts and more.

Our long-standing history of community involvement spans a wide range of support including Veterans programs, county fair sponsorships, church picnic donations, volunteering at food pantries, serving on school boards, teaching financial literacy, assisting those in need, and much more. As we grow, we look forward to continuing our tradition of community involvement in Columbia and surrounding areas.
