BTC BANK is a community bank founded on the traditional values of personal customer service. BTC’s continued tradition of serving our friends and neighbors with courteous, professional banking services maintains its standard of excellence today. BTC employees are more than banking professionals they are church volunteers, school board members and softball coaches. We proudly support our local communities because these communities are the reason we are in business today.

The Bethany Trust Company was established on September 19th, 1919. The former location was constructed in 1966.  During its humble beginnings it had a capital stock of $100,000. The stock was then divided into 1,000 shares with a par value of $100. J.E. Noll, S. L. Gibson, W. T. Templeman, Joseph S. Neff, Henry N. Burgin, W. C. Cole, and I. E. Nelson were the first to serve on our Board of Directors.

In 1949, the Bethany Trust Company's 30th anniversary, our total assets were $2,358,921. In June 1969, our 50th anniversary, our total assets skyrocketed to $9,674,346. In March of 1998 Bethany Trust Company purchased Bank of Gallatin/First State Bank and its branch facility in New Hampton. When the Bethany Trust Company celebrated its 80th anniversary in September 1999, we changed our name to BTC Bank. At that time our assets totaled over $110,539,000. That same year growth continued and BTC BANK also announced the decision to build a new facility in Albany. In February 2003 BTC BANK purchased First Bank of Missouri's facility in Pattonsburg. August 1, 2005, we opened our doors to a new branch in Bethany across from Country Kitchen. We opened a branch in Chillicothe March 1, 2007. As of 1st quarter 2007 BTC proudly announces assets of $175,833,000. Our success is a direct reflection of the continuously loyal customers in our community.

We proudly boast that we have continually had serving on our Board of Directors a member of the same family for four generations: W. C. Cole first generation, M.C. Cole, second generation, E. V. Osborn, third generation and fourth generation and current board member Cole Osborn.
