About Us
The vision to establish a community owned bank was led by President/CEO Tom
Yoakam. In an effort to reverse the trend in the banking industry, University
National Bank was formed by a group of local businesspersons in order to
restore a progressive community bank in Pittsburg. The trend had moved toward
regional banks buying and controlling local community banks.
The Vision Statement of University National Bank is to bring back the
personal relationships with the customer, while offering a full range of
banking products and services.
University National Bank is Pittsburg's ONLY locally owned and operated
banking facility. All decisions are made here for fast, efficient customer
service. University National Bank opened on January 4, 1999 with 6 employees at
its current location at 1206 South Broadway in an abandoned convenience store.
The Business Plan included having a full service brokerage branch on site the
day the bank opened to assist customers in meeting all of their financial
needs.
In 2001, a new state of the art banking facility was built around the old
facility at the current location. On April 13, 2005, our newly renovated facility, University National
Bank, Arma was opened to better serve our customers in northern Crawford County. Currently, there are now 26
full-time employees and 6 part-time employees at the two facilities that are providing outstanding customer
service to our growing customer base.
