Bank OZK Cypress Creek

About Us

Bank OZK roots date back to its establishment in 1903 as a small community bank in Jasper, Arkansas. However, our modern-day history began in 1979 when another small-town bank, Bank of Ozark, was purchased by our Chairman and CEO, a then 25-year-old attorney, George Gleason. At the time, the bank had only two branches, 28 employees and $28 million in assets. Since then, Bank OZK has grown to over $40 billion in assets, more than 3,200 employees and over 260 offices in nine states.

A nationally recognized leader in the financial services industry, Bank OZK is known for its focus on relationships, expertise and excellence in execution. We aspire to provide exceptional service by delivering smart solutions tailored to meet our clients’ multifaceted needs.

At Bank OZK, we’re reshaping skylines in some of America’s largest cities, while investing in local businesses and economies. With our rich history of cultivating relationships, we strive to provide excellent services and support that help our customers, large and small, to grow and thrive.

In 2025, Bank OZK was once again recognized as one of the best banks in the U.S. in the Bank Director Ranking Banking Study, a testament to our strength and stability. Since 2019, Forbes has named Bank OZK as one of “America’s Best Banks” every year.
