Headquartered in Little Rock, Ark., Encore Bank was established in 2019 after its founders became the leaders of The Capital Bank in Little Rock, a small bank founded in 1997. With just seven associates, $159 million in assets, one office in Little Rock and a vision to build a different kind of bank, Encore’s founders rebranded that small Arkansas bank as Encore Bank in 2019 and within three years turned it into one of the fastest growing banks in the country. Encore Bank is a privately held, boutique bank with a commercial focus that couples highly experienced and talented bankers with innovative technology to offer unprecedented levels of service to its clients through a hospitality-inspired concierge approach. We provide a full suite of financial products and services to businesses, business owners, professionals, their families and contacts with purpose, passion and precision.
