Diamond Bank of Murfreesboro is expanding its southwest Arkansas footprint by opening an Ashdown branch.
The project represents the 14th full-service office for the $528 million-asset lender and its first in Little River County.
The addition of Diamond creates a competitive field of five banks in Ashdown that includes Little Rock’s Bear State Bank; Regions Bank of Birmingham, Alabama; Wells Fargo Bank of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and BancorpSouth Bank of Tupelo, Mississippi.
Diamond has operated a loan production office in Ashdown since 2014.
