Generations Bank to Open Bentonville Office, Construction to Begin Next Year

Generations Bank, an Arkansas community bank with nine full-service locations throughout the state, is planning the development of a future office location in Bentonville. Construction of the new office is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2019, and will be located on Southwest I Street near the Bentonville Community Center.

Generations Bank purchased the 2.13 acre plot in July and are expected to occupy a third of the building, with the remaining space available for lease.

“We felt that we needed a presence in Bentonville,” said Jon Harrell, chairman of the board, as quoted in a recent article published by the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal. “It’s part of our long-term strategy to be a player in Northwest Arkansas. The I Street corridor is attractive and appeared to be a good spot.” Harrell represents the fifth generation of the Harrell family to lead Generations Bank.

The Generations Bank team has proudly served communities in south and northwest Arkansas for more than a century. The financial institution began in 1907 in Harrell, Ark., as Calhoun County Bank and was later known as First Bank. First Bank was recently changed to Generations Bank to honor the bank’s rich history and heritage and to recognize the generations of customers served.

Generations Bank offers comprehensive banking services, including: personal savings accounts, personal checking accounts, loans, mortgages, online banking, mobile banking, business accounts, business loans, online bill pay and more.

Generations Bank is passionate about serving Arkansans and looks forward to continued engagement with residents and communities.
