We pride ourselves on creating a personalized, relationship-driven experience."
This year’s list saw extraordinary growth among its companies, with the median three-year revenue growth rate soaring to an impressive
1,507 percent, showcasing the resilience of businesses amidst economic fluctuations, inflationary pressures, and labor market challenges. On achieving such substantial growth, Tony Caldwell, the Chairman of the Board, remarked, "Driving exponential growth safely in a 116-year-old financial institution is not just a tremendous challenge but is also a lot of fun."
Prism Bank's commitment to innovation is evident in its recent rebranding from
Oklahoma State Bank, along with a new tagline, "For Every Facet," which reflects its diverse service offerings. These include personal and commercial banking, private client solutions, and niche markets such as
aviation finance and cannabis banking. Notably, the bank continues to stand out with a
5-Star Superior rating from BauerFinancial, highlighting its financial strength and stability.
The methodology behind the Inc. 5000 rankings is rigorous, focusing on revenue growth percentages from 2021 to 2024. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent. With the bar set high, the minimum revenue required in 2021 was
$100,000, with the threshold for 2024 set at
