OakStar Bank was formed by thirty-eight local Southwest Missouri investors in 2005. The focus of this group was to create a unique banking experience. To carry out this focus, the original investor group partnered with the founding board of directors to design the most unique banking service experience around. Before, during, or after your banking experience, please feel free to relax while enjoying a freshly baked cookie and a cup of coffee.


The OakStar experience is unique, much like our name. The combination of the oak leaf which symbolizes strength, beauty, protection, and longevity with the star symbolizing vision, brightness, and the view of the big picture accurately reflects our mission of service to you. As a locally owned community bank, all of our decisions are made right here where we live. The way it should be.
