Home › G.W. Jones Exchange Bank

We understand the events in the past few days surrounding some of the larger, publicly traded banks may cause some concern for the financial industry as a whole. We’ve seen two large banks be shut down by regulators. However, there was some positive news published yesterday. The Treasury took action to protect all depositors even those in excess of the $250,000 FDIC Guarantee in their balances. This means that even those large businesses that banked with the failed institutions will not lose their funds.

Our bank has a rich history of serving our customers. Today’s crisis isn’t the first we survived. We survived the first run on banks during the Great Depression through transparency, honesty, and sound financial decisions. We didn’t take the Government Bailout under the TARP program in 2008 & 2009; we didn’t need it. We don’t need a bailout today either. G.W. Jones Exchange Bank prides itself on being a sound financial institution. We may not have all of the bells and whistles that some bigger banks can offer, but we have a safe bank, a bank you can trust with your funds. We are a bank you can count on to be able to run your business. We’ve been here since 1877, we’ll be here next week, next month, and next year. We look forward to continuing to serve you for years to come!
