Lamar Bank and Trust Company

Lamar Bank and Trust Company is a community bank founded in 1925 and headquartered in Lamar, Missouri. It operates branches in Lamar and Lockwood, MO, with a loan production office in Springfield. As a locally owned institution, it has a long track record in agricultural lending alongside general commercial banking. For business borrowers, the bank offers lines of credit, term loans, commercial real estate financing, construction finance, and equipment finance. Geographic reach is limited to southwest Missouri, so businesses outside that footprint are unlikely to qualify. Specific eligibility requirements — minimum credit score, revenue, and time in business — are not publicly disclosed, so prospective borrowers will need to contact the bank directly. It appears best suited for established small businesses and agricultural operations with ties to the communities it serves.
