Our DNA

Why It Pays To Bank Blue - Our DNA

Morris Bank seeks to be the first choice for financial services in the communities we serve; second to none in quality, efficiency and integrity.

We do this by developing the highest quality team to profitably grow our customers' assets. We also give back to communities by supporting charitable initiatives where our customers live.

Morris Bank’s core values demonstrate our commitment to sharing our banking knowledge and information openly, honestly, and appropriately, and to serve our customers.

So, when we’re asked, “What makes Morris Bank different?”

Our response is always our people; because our team adheres to Code Blue and that ultimately feeds the successful pursuit of our mission.

The Live Oak and Morris Bank

As a southern staple in our nation, the live oak graces our coastal lands with the strength to leave marks in history, resilience to withstand trying times, and outstretching arms to provide shelter to those around it. In terms of leadership and perseverance, one can draw from the regal and robust qualities of these landscape anchors.

In a comparison of the live oak and the tradition of a financial institution, one can find great wisdom and guidance. At Morris Bank, many of these principles mirror our daily operations, and we apply them to our long standing presence through fluctuations in the financial world.

So how does a live oak compare to the operations of Morris Bank?

HAS A STRONG BASE
GROWS CONTINUALLY

Our History

In November 1954, when Louie Livingston made the first deposit in Morris Bank, life was simple, and business was conducted on a gentleman's word and a handshake. In our constantly changing community, we still believe in that philosophy, and our commitment to our customers is stronger than ever.
