Old Glory Bank Awards $10,000 Merit Scholarship to Promising Student
ELMORE CITY, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Old Glory Bank is proud to announce the recipient of its inaugural Old Glory Bank Merit Scholarship. The one-time, $10,000 award recognizes a rising college freshman who has demonstrated the outstanding values the Bank holds in the highest regard – patriotism, commitment to excellence, integrity, discipline, and service. To be considered, students were required to be an Old Glory Bank account holder and meet minimum GPA requirements. They were asked to submit a transcript demonstrating their academic accomplishments, a resume outlining their community involvement and leadership roles, and an essay. All submissions went through a blind review process, which was carefully structured and anonymized to ensure an unbiased consideration of every applicant, as neither their name, their school, nor their geographic location was known to the scholarship committee. Each reviewer scored the submission based on a defined rubric, and each application was evaluated by several committee members independently. The top ten applications were identified as semi-finalists, which were then sent to our panel of final judges, made up of distinguished community leaders and former educators. Through this competitive selection process, Old Glory Bank selected Taryn McCaa as the 2025 scholarship recipient. 'We are thrilled to celebrate Taryn's accomplishments,' said Anne Marie Ring, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer of Old Glory Bank. 'Her dedication to excellence exemplifies the spirit upon which this Country was founded, and we look forward to supporting her college journey.' Taryn will receive the $10,000 scholarship to use toward tuition, fees, textbooks, or other approved educational expenses for the 2025–2026 academic year. She plans to major in Animal Science at Oklahoma State University, ultimately pursuing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree with a specialization in equine medicine. Says Taryn, 'I am so grateful for this scholarship to help me pursue my college goals. I believe that giving back means leading by example and being true to your own self. I want to continue helping students with disabilities through volunteering involvement in equine therapy programs and ultimately returning to my home community to open a veterinary clinic.' Ring adds, 'At Old Glory Bank, we celebrate a vision where opportunity is dictated by the merit of the individual and our shared American identity. We believe success is a result of hard work, and using one's God-given talents well. We received many applications for this scholarship, all of which gave us encouragement about the future of America. This generation of students holds incredible promise.' Old Glory Bank will announce the next scholarship opportunity in early 2026. Current High School seniors should monitor for application details and deadlines.

Old Glory Bank Surpasses $200 Million in Customer Deposits, Reaffirming Its Role as America's Freedom Economy Bank
"Thank you to our freedom loving customers and to our passionate team members for helping us achieve this unprecedented growth." - Mike Ring, CEO ELMORE CITY, Okla., May 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Old Glory Bank, the unapologetically pro-faith, pro-America, and pro-family financial institution, proudly announces it has surpassed $200 million in customer deposits - a remarkable milestone achieved in 25 months, underscoring the power of Americans supporting Main Street, not Wall Street. Since launching in April 2023 with about $10 million in customer deposits, Old Glory Bank has now grown to over $200 million in customer deposits. This unprecedented growth for a community bank is fueled by patriotic Americans seeking a financial institution that shares and defends their beliefs. Customers from all 50 states have moved their money to a bank that honors the Constitution, refuses to deplatform or cancel customers for their beliefs, and guarantees that your money will never be used to fund radical agendas. "We didn't set out to be the biggest bank - just the most principled," said John Rich, country music artist and co-founder of Old Glory Bank. "But the response has been overwhelming. Americans are hungry for a bank that respects their freedoms, and we're proud to be that bank." With no reliance on ESG scores, no DEI mandates, and no woke screening of transactions, Old Glory Bank stands firm on three core promises: Privacy, Security, and Liberty. Unlike big banks that have targeted customers for their political or religious beliefs, Old Glory Bank was built to protect them. "Crossing $200 million in customer deposits is not just a number - it's a message to Wall Street and the powerful elites," said Mike Ring, President and CEO. "Americans are done funding their own demise. They're eager to do business with people who respect them and the Constitution." Old Glory Bank's rapid deposit growth has been powered by consumer accounts plus a surge in small businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations switching to a bank that won't compromise their values. Old Glory Bank offers full-service personal and business banking, and recently launched its Mini-IPO at inviting customers to become owners of the movement they're helping build. "This isn't just about banking. It's about reclaiming American institutions," said Board Member Sean Spicer. "Old Glory Bank is proving that freedom remains the foundation of capitalism and taking care of our own community."
