About Us


St. Johns Bank is a locally owned, community-oriented bank serving individuals and businesses in northwestern St. Louis and St. Charles Counties. Founded by Walter H. Branneky in 1926, the bank remains independently owned and family managed.
St. Johns Bank reinvests deposits in the communities we serve, to stabilize and nourish them in every way. Our commercial lending expertise extends from builders and developers to property owners and businesses of all types. Our commercial checking accounts range from free to fully analyzed and interest bearing. We craft solutions to help small- and mid-size businesses prosper.

Families as well trust St. Johns Bank for their banking needs. From checking to savings to personal loans, we offer the same products, services and technologies as larger banks but with customer service reminiscent of days gone by. We are proud of our heritage as one of the few true community banks left in the metro St. Louis area.

St. Johns Bank is known for more than just lending money and accepting deposits. Our officers and employees take a personal interest in our customers and the communities we serve. We are relationship driven, and our personalized service will always be the cornerstone of our bank.
