First National Bank of McGehee is seeking regulatory approval to change its name to First NaturalState Bank.
The move by First National also entails converting to a state-chartered bank.
The Desha County lender ranks among the smallest banks in Arkansas. First National operates two full-service locations in McGehee with a staff of 19.
The $53.9 million-asset concern was founded in 1974.
That was 21 years before the official Arkansas nickname was changed by legislative decree from “Land of Opportunity” to “The Natural State.”
With the Bear State moniker taken, will there be a Bank of Opportunity or WonderState Bank somewhere down the road?
