Founded in 1906, the Bank was originally known as the Lemay Ferry Bank, taking its name from the small Missouri town on banks of the Meramec River that has served as the Bank’s headquarters since its inception. The Midwest BankCentre rebrand occurred only 18 years ago when the Bank began to expand its market area. Between 2008 and 2016, three banks were acquired: The First National Bank of Mt. Pulaski, Southern Commercial Bank, and Bremen Bank and Trust Company.
In March of this year, Midwest BankCentre was honored with the inaugural Bosnia Memory Project Community Leader Award. According to a Fontbonne University press release,
Midwest BankCentre has been a leading community investor in the Bosnia Memory Project as an expression of its commitment to its many Bosnian-American employees and customers in St. Louis. The bank has done exemplary work with such organizations as the International Institute, Beyond Housing, and the Bosnia Memory Project, working collaboratively to reach the underserved.
The Bosnian population in St. Louis totals more than 60,000, making it the largest Bosnian community outside of Bosnia. Nearly all these community members came to St. Louis as a result of the war and genocide perpetrated in Bosnia from 1992-1995. Today, they are homeowners, business owners and significant contributors to the local economy and culture.
