LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear First Midwest Bank of Poplar Bluff Customer,
I’m writing to inform you of an exciting development taking place with our organization. On Friday, December 3, 2021, our “sister” bank, First Midwest Bank of the Ozarks, will merge with and into First Midwest Bank of Poplar Bluff. While First Midwest Bank of Poplar Bluff will be the surviving bank charter, we have decided to retain the name First Midwest Bank of the Ozarks following the merger, as we believe it is the most reflective of our growing geographical locations.
The decision to merge was made in part because we believe it will prevent the confusion that sometimes occurred between our separate bank charters. You will also benefit from the expansion of bank locations, giving you access to more branches to conduct your banking business.
Within the following pages you will find important information about the upcoming merger, including key dates, resources, and answers to questions you may have about your account.
It is very important to us to ensure most customers will not experience any disruption in accounts or services. We do, however, have a large data merge planned for the weekend of December 3, and we wanted you to be aware of what to expect.
We look forward to continuing to serve you in the days leading up to and following the bank merger. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (573) 785-8461, stop by your local branch or email us at merger@onemidwest.com and we will be happy to assist you.
Sincerely,
Joey McLane
President and CEO
First Midwest Bank
