Our Story

About Us


St. Johns Bank is a locally owned, community-focused bank proudly celebrating 100 years of service in 2026. Founded in 1926 by Walter H. Branneky in St. John, Missouri, the bank remains independently owned and family managed.

Headquartered in northwestern St. Louis and St. Charles Counties, St. Johns Bank serves individuals, families, and businesses throughout the region. We reinvest local deposits back into the communities we serve, helping to strengthen and sustain them.

Our commercial banking expertise supports builders, developers, property owners, and businesses of all sizes. From free business checking to fully analyzed, interest-bearing accounts, we tailor solutions designed to help small- and mid-sized businesses thrive.

Families also rely on St. Johns Bank for their everyday banking needs. We offer a full range of personal products and modern technologies—checking, savings, and personal loans—paired with the personalized service and familiarity of a true community bank. We are proud to be one of the few remaining locally focused community banks in the greater St. Louis area.

More than a place to bank, St. Johns Bank is built on relationships. Our officers and employees take a genuine, personal interest in our customers and neighborhoods. Relationship-driven service has always been—and will remain—the cornerstone of who we are.
