The roots of Gateway Bank trace back to a bank reorganization on March 7, 1932, when it operated as the Bank of Rison. Despite facing challenges like a major fire that swept through downtown Rison just before New Year’s eve of 1932, the bank demonstrated resilience. Operating temporarily from the Calaway Building, the bank eventually acquired the former Farmers & Merchants Bank building. This historic location served as home until the summer of 2015, when Gateway Bank moved into a newly constructed building across Second Street. This move marked a significant milestone, as it was the first newly constructed building in downtown Rison in over twenty years. Today, Gateway Bank remains committed to serving your financial needs with a rich history and a focus on personalized solutions.
