It’s an exciting time for Arvest Bank in Springfield, MO as we celebrate the grand opening of our newest location at the corner of National Ave. and Chestnut Expressway. Our new branch has been built to LEED standards and is a full-service location offering everything from daily deposits and check cashing, to account opening services and mortgage loans.

We are happy to announce April Eaton and Deb Oman as the first two Apple iPad winners as part of our grand opening month for the new National Ave. and Chestnut Expressway location.

During our month long grand opening event, we are asking the community to come to the branch and support a “Charity of the Week.” For each visitor of the branch Arvest will donate $1 to the organization of the week and they will be entered into a drawing for a new Apple iPad.

There are two more iPad giveaways this month, come out to our new branch and register to win today!

Each month, associates of Arvest Bank in the Greater Kansas City area have the opportunity to support their local community through the Casual for a Cause Program.  Associates are able to make donations to that month’s featured charity and show their support by wearing jeans on each Friday of the month.  Charities are selected based on associate recommendations.

In May, True North Missions was selected as the Casual for a Cause charity, and over $600 was raised throughout the month.  This organization was started in 1997 by Kansas City area health care professionals, and delivers free medical and dental care to the coastal areas of Guatemala.

In June, James Elementary School was selected to be the recipient charity of the Casual for a Cause Program.  James Elementary School is part of the Kansas City, Missouri school district and administrators work hard to provide quality education and additional programs to its students, many of which come from families who are at, or below, 100% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.  Arvest associates raised $580 that month, which will be donated to the Teacher’s Fund enabling them to provide the necessary school supplies to those students who cannot afford to purchase them on their own.
  

Arvest Bank in Springfield, MO and the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri are partnering to celebrate the second week of the new branch grand opening at 730 North National Avenue.

The Humane Society and Arvest Bank will take part in a radio remote at the new branch Friday, August 6 at 11:00 AM to promote the charity, their upcoming events, collect wish list items for their shelter, offer pet profiles of animals they have available for adoption and encourage community members to visit the new branch for a chance to win an Apple iPad.

Norman, their mascot dog, will be in attendance as well.

The grand opening of the new Arvest branch, located at the intersection of National Ave. and Chestnut Expressway, is a great time to work with the community in volunteer and service activities.  Each of the three weeks leading up to the grand opening will be dedicated to an individual charity organization as well as the week of the grand opening.  For each visitor of the branch, Arvest will donate $1 to the organization of the week.

Come out and help us celebrate our new branch that has been built to LEED standards and will be a full-service location offering everything from daily deposits and check cashing, to account opening services and mortgage loans.
  

It’s an exciting time for the Arvest family in Springfield, MO as we prepare to open our newest location at the corner of National Ave. and Chestnut Expressway. Our new branch has been built to LEED standards and will be a full-service location offering everything from daily deposits and check cashing, to account opening services and mortgage loans.

Our grand opening celebration will take place on August 27.

As we have been preparing to open this new branch, we realized that this would be an excellent opportunity to put Arvest’s community focus to work and incorporate some of the charitable organizations that help make Springfield a thriving community.

For four weeks leading up to the grand opening a “Charity of the Week” will be allowed to promote themselves and receive donations in the name of everyone who stops by the new Arvest branch during the given week. Students and community members will be encouraged to raise awareness and support for the chosen organization by simply coming to the branch. For each visitor of the branch, Arvest will donate $1 to the organization of the week and will be entered into a drawing for a new Apple iPad. Complete rules and information available at the branch location.

The four charities selected to participate in the community wide effort are Habitat for Humanity in Springfield, Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, Young Life Greater Springfield, and The Discovery Center. Each charity will take part in events and activities during their given week that will allow them to spread the word of their organization and get the community involved in their efforts.

Our activities get kicked off today, July 30th, with a radio remote broadcasting from our new branch. Stop by to support Habitat for Humanity and their work in our community. And while you’re here, grab some lunch and check out our newest location.

Arvest Bank’s culture is one deeply rooted in not only providing financial services to our community, but becoming an active corporate citizen and focusing on the greater good for the city of Springfield. We are excited to see our new branch open and show Springfield our support.
  

As Arvest Bank’s presence in the Kansas City market continues to expand, grocery shoppers around Kansas City now have improved access to withdraw cash safely and conveniently.  On July 16, the number of Arvest ATMs in the region doubled to 16, providing customers with an expansive network of service charge free machines throughout the Kansas City area.  The addition of eight new Arvest Bank ATMs was made possible through a partnership between Arvest Bank and Hen House Grocery Stores.  These machines are located inside Hen House locations, and provide customers needing to withdraw funds or check balances with a convenient and safe environment in which to do so.

Providing highly visible ATMs was also a crucial part of the expansion plan, and each machine is professionally labeled with the Arvest Bank logo and branding graphics resulting in a fresh, clean look that more closely matches that of their retail environment.  Additional signage has also been installed to make each machine easier to identify by Hen House customers needing to make a cash withdrawal.

“Since entering into the Kansas City market last November, we’ve looked for ways to expand our banking services to our customers.  The partnership with Hen House Grocery Stores will not only allow us to expand our ATM footprint, but also to introduce our banking services and products to those looking for a convenient and stable bank,” says Doug Heck, executive vice president and sales manager for Arvest Bank Kansas City.  “We all lead busy lives, and although most of our locations are open until 8:00 p.m., sometimes it’s hard to make it to the bank before it closes.  With the addition of these ATMs inside Hen House locations that have extended evening and weekend hours, we’ll be able to provide our customers with even more flexibility, something that is very important to Arvest Bank.  The partnership just seemed like a natural fit”.

David Ball, president and CEO of Hen House Markets, says, “We enjoy providing services to our customers that have the potential to add value to their shopping experience. The addition of these ATMs in our store locations will add an element of convenience to their busy lifestyles”.

Arvest Bank ATMs will be located at the following Hen House Grocery Stores:

It’s been a bit since we last checked in on our newest branch in the Springfield area and the first in Missouri being built to LEED certification. You can see the construction crew has been extra busy taking advantage of this great weather and the progress they've made has been extraordinary. Bricks are being laid around the entire building, the rock has arrived and the interior of the branch is getting some treatment as well. Everything is clearly visible now from the drive-thru to the front entrance. It really is quite a difference from the empty field that sat there last November. Stay tuned for more updates and look for the new Chestnut and National Branch to be open this summer!

As you can see from the photos below, the new branch is coming along beautifully.
