History

Founded in 1893 by A.P. Murphy and incorporated five years later, Antwerp Exchange Bank has stood as a pillar of stability and support in our community. The original bank, built by C.A. Quisno, first opened its doors with a commitment to serve and grow with its people.

The bank underwent its first major renovation in 1955, and a significant rebuilding in 1962, expanding into the storeroom formerly occupied by W.C. Pate Drug Store. Our current building, which opened on March 6, 1978, amid the historic blizzard of ’78, symbolizes our resilience and commitment to providing unwavering support to our customers, come rain, shine, or snow.

Committed to Community: How We Give Back

At Antwerp Exchange Bank, community service is at the core of who we are. We proudly support local causes and initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors. In 2016, we launched Bankers for a Cause to further our commitment to fostering positive change. But our support goes beyond financial contributions—it’s about making a lasting impact that strengthens our community

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
