As the oldest, independent community bank in Missouri, The Callaway Bank combines old-fashioned values like fairness, respect, integrity, and honesty with modern banking products and services. Our customers have been our greatest asset since before the Civil War. Unlike most banks, we are still an independently owned and locally operated community bank.
Our decisions are made right here at home, with the interest of our community and our customers in mind for all that we do. While we take great pride in our history, it is the future we work for today.

Founded January 1, 1857. Known as the “Fulton Branch, Western Bank of Missouri,” it was not actually a branch, as all stock owners and officers were local.
Today, The Callaway Bank has eight banking offices in Ashland, Fulton, Columbia, and Mokane, 11 direct ATM locations, and over 40,000 surcharge-free ATM locations nationwide through the MoneyPass® network. Plus, with tools like P2P payments, online banking, and our mobile apps (with mobile check deposit), you can bank anywhere and anytime.
Through the use of these tools, we have customers literally around the globe who prefer to bank with us, even after they have relocated from mid-Missouri. While banking will continue to evolve from a technology standpoint, we realize that it is how we take care of our customers that makes the difference. We’ll continue to adopt new technology but will always put our emphasis on serving our customers and our communities.
