About Us
In 2026, Lamar Bank & Trust proudly reflects on more than 100 years of service built on trust, innovation, and community commitment. Since our founding in 1925, LBT has remained dedicated to providing personalized financial solutions while growing alongside the communities we serve.
A Century of Community Commitment
For over a century, Lamar Bank & Trust has been deeply rooted in the success of our local communities. From supporting academic and athletic programs to investing in community traditions, our focus has always been on helping our neighbors thrive. Our employees actively give back by serving in our communities—reinforcing LBT’s role as a true community partner.
We are proud to have expanded our presence into Dade County with the opening of our Lockwood, Missouri branch. Becoming part of the Lockwood community is an exciting new chapter for LBT. We are grateful for the warm welcome we’ve received and are honored to serve local families, farmers, and businesses with the same care and commitment that has defined LBT for generations.
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue our growth with another expansion into the Stockton community. With completion anticipated in 2027, we look forward to strengthening our commitment to Cedar County, building new relationships, and bringing our trusted banking services to even more families, businesses, farmers, and community partners throughout the region.
Banking Built Around You
For more than 100 years, LBT has delivered relationship-driven banking tailored to the needs of individuals and businesses across the region. While banking tools and technology continue to evolve, our approach remains the same—listening first, offering practical solutions, and providing service you can count on. We continue to invest in modern banking technology while preserving the personal connections that set us apart.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
As we move forward beyond our centennial, Lamar Bank & Trust remains focused on strengthening local economies, offering innovative financial solutions, and building long-term relationships. Now serving Barton, Dade, and Cedar counties, we are excited to continue supporting our surrounding communities while building new relationships across the region. Together, we look forward to serving local families, farmers, and businesses and continuing our legacy of excellence for generations to come.
