"Our Roots Run Deep!"

The bank first opened for business in 1907 in a small store in Plato, Missouri.  A large fireproof vault was built and modern bulletproof fixtures were installed.  A four-ton Cannonball Safe was purchased from Crocker State Bank and placed in the front window.

Prosperity came to the area in the 1940s as Fort Leonard Wood was being built.  The bank stayed open evenings on paydays to accommodate the workers; the line of customers often extended far into the street.

In February of 2003, Ozarks Heritage Financial Group purchased Bank of Plato and changed the name to Legacy Bank and Trust.  This group is headed by Chris Harlin, President and CEO of Century Bank of the Ozarks in Gainesville, Theodosia, Bakersfield and Ava.   Century Bank is a family-owned, independent, hometown bank since 1894 and our dedication to customer service and sense of community will continue to build on the 100-year legacy of our new bank family, Legacy Bank and Trust.

A branch in Mountain Grove was opened in October of 2003.  The Ozarks Heritage Financial Group then purchased Citizens Bank of Sparta and it was merged into Legacy Bank and Trust in March of 2005. Our newest and fourth office was opened in May 2008 in Rogersville, Missouri. 

We are pleased to be a part of these communities and we invite you to “Come Grow With Us”.

Notice of Changes in Temporary FDIC Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts

All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs"). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.
