First National of Broken Arrow closing south branch Dec. 4 - Tulsa World

While the decision to close the branch was a difficult one, Graham said changes in bank-customer relationships made the move a logical one. “At one time, almost all bank transactions required personal visits to a bricks and mortar location,” he said. This branch is only 2. 6 miles from our main downtown bank that is undergoing a dramatic remodeling. Poole, President and Chief Operating Officer, noted that First National was the first bank in Tulsa County to offer customers the convenience of Automatic Teller Machines. Especially popular today are On-Line Banking and mobile applications that allow customers to make deposits from Smartphones or tablets, Poole said. 4, customers of the South Elm Place branch will be able to access their accounts on-line, at the downtown location, or at branches at 2100 N. Aspen or 2401 E. Kenosha, Graham said. But the distance between the South Elm branch and our main bank is very short and we believe people will enjoy being part of the rebirth of the central downtown business and entertainment district.
