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.

John Rich: No One Wants Anything To Do With The Left Anymore
Singer and Songwriter John Rich joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to give his take a new NBC News poll which finds the Democratic Party has reached an all-time low in popularity. 'You know what I think made the American people not down with that eventually, was four letters p-a-i-n, pain, and the four years of pain that we had to endure under Biden, whether it be vaccine mandates, mask mandates, watching our country get invaded, fentanyl, tidal waves of fentanyl, on and on and on, letting predators back out onto the streets. It crossed such a line, that it was no longer political. It crossed a line that it was just human. Human nature says, I want to live in a safe neighborhood. Human nature says I don't want fentanyl floating around my kids. Human nature says you can't force me to stick something in my bloodstream against my will. And when they laid out that much pain and that much tyranny for four years, what happened is the result we see today which has nobody wants anything to do with them anymore. And they're reaping what they sowed. ' Plus, John reveals to Jimmy that he used to help Taylor Swift write a few of her songs in the early stages of her career. To hear what else they talked about, listen to the podcast!
