Unlocking Homeownership

By Scott Perkins, FCNB President & CEO

In celebration of American Housing Month, FCNB Bank has joined forces with the ABA Foundation for its ‘Unlocking Homeownership’ campaign this June. The campaign, inaugurally launched in 2024, seeks to respond to the nation’s housing challenges by helping promote homeownership education and counseling.

As a part of the campaign, FCNB Bank will share tip sheets and other resources throughout the month on our social media channels to help educate consumers on the homebuying process and guide existing homeowners on how to retain their homes.

We know that for many Americans homeownership can often feel unattainable. Our hope is that through this campaign, with consistent outreach and education, we can make this a goal within reach for our customers and communities.

FCNB Bank converts to state charter

FCNB Bank converts to state charter

FCNB Bank headquartered in Steelville, Missouri recently converted to a state-chartered bank through the Missouri Division of Finance. Celebrating the milestone is the FCNB Board of Directors, from L to R: Randy Bono, Herbert J. Baumann, John W. Perkins, Rosella Roberts, John Hewkin, Paul E. Perkins, Scott Perkins, Julie Settles, James D. Cottrell, Anita Agers-Brooks and Scott Gahr.

The Missouri Division of Finance welcomed First Community National Bank as a State-charted bank effective November 10, 2021. With the conversion from a national charter to a state charter, the name of the bank has officially changed to FCNB Bank with headquarters in Steelville, Missouri.

“As a community bank, FCNB Bank is a family-owned, locally operated, independent organization that strives to provide banking as it should through customer relationships,” commented FCNB Bank’s President & CEO Scott Perkins. “With our conversion to a state-chartered bank, we will substantially benefit from ensured safety and soundness, reduced regulatory costs and the advocacy to provide local lending decisions. It’s an exceptional move for our bank and our customers.”

With regulatory authority now provided by The Missouri Division of Finance, FCNB Bank will partner with experienced examiners that are knowledgeable of local economic conditions and provide a common-sense approach to community banking. As a longstanding member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, deposits will continue to be insured up to $250,000 per customer.

Originally established as the Bank of Leasburg on March 16, 1906, FCNB Bank has been family-owned and operated by the Perkins family of Steelville since 1961. Under the current leadership of Chairman of the Board Paul E. Perkins, President & CEO Scott Perkins and FCNB Insurance and Investments President Julie Perkins Settles, FCNB Bank remains a strong and progressive independent community bank with $159 million in assets serving the communities of Steelville, Cuba, Sullivan, Rolla and Eureka with six branch and ATM locations.
