Signature Bank of Arkansas opened its first Jonesboro location on Tuesday Feb. 22 at 111 East Jackson in historic downtown to serve the Northeast Arkansas market.
Signature Bank of Arkansas provides a full line of financial services to small businesses, families and farms at locations in Fayetteville, Springdale, Bentonville, Brinkley, Rogers, Harrison and Jonesboro, Arkansas, with headquarters located in Fayetteville.
“We recognize Jonesboro as a growing market in Arkansas in need of a bank dedicated to real community banking and leadership in the small business arena,” said Signature Bank COO Brant Ward. “Our growth model is centered around empowering local market leadership to make the day-to-day decisions that impact their community. Local decision making doesn’t mean calling into a corporate headquarters for approval on every question that arises. Our Jonesboro bankers know the unique needs of Northeast Arkansas business owners, and we’re eager as an organization to support them as they meet local needs.”
Signature’s expansion into Jonesboro was led by Market President Ryan Moore. Moore came to Signature with 15 years of banking experience, including executive level leadership in Jonesboro.
“We are excited to bring Signature Bank of Arkansas to Jonesboro,” said Moore. “Jonesboro is a perfectly sized community for Signature’s blended model of ‘old-school’ personal banking and modern technology.”
Moore has staffed his team with experienced retail and lending associates including Taylor Galloway as Bank Manager; Felicia Moore as Assistant Bank Manager; Kristyn Palsgrove as Retail Banker; Tamara Jansen as Senior Vice President for Lending; and Amee Tribble as Loan Coordinator. Moore has also hired Amy Wills to manage Business Development for the Northeast Arkansas market.
Signature’s expansion to Jonesboro follows an operating system upgrade in Oct. 2021 whereas the bank enhanced all internal and external platforms in an effort to ensure quality customer experience and eliminate inefficiencies and lack of integration in bankers’ day to day tasks. Jonesboro is the first new market team to fully launch on the new platform.
