On this episode I chatted with C4 and Scott Mabrey of Mabrey Bank. The Mabrey family’s ownership of the bank is a story that began long before it became the community bank people know today.
The Mabrey family has been involved in banking since 1906, when G. W. Mabrey served on the Board of Directors for Citizens National Bank of Okmulgee. In 1909, Carlisle Mabrey Sr. became a teller and assistant cashier for the bank. He worked at the bank for many years and in 1943 was named Chairman of the Board. Carlisle Mabrey Jr. bought a controlling interest in the bank in 1966 and became President and Chairman of the Board that same year.
After acquiring Citizens Security Bank and Trust Company in Bixby, founded in 1924, the Mabrey family combined the organizations in 2004 bringing together two strong community banks that had been serving Oklahomans for nearly 180 combined years. The Mabrey family has continued expanding since then, adding several locations in Tulsa and Oklahoma City to help us better serve communities across Oklahoma.
