Murphy-Wall State Bank and Trust Company, the oldest bank in Perry County, Illinois, was established in 1874 by W. K. Murphy, George W. Wall, and George W. Parker. Until its incorporation as a state bank in 1907, the bank was known as "The Exchange Bank of Murphy, Wall and Company" and also as "Murphy, Wall and Company, Bankers." Murphy-Wall is now in its 139th year of operation.
Murphy-Wall State Bank has enjoyed continuous growth and expansion. Since the first published notice of its total resources in 1881 of $76,585.88, the bank's assets have multiplied many times, to a present total in excess of $110,000,000.00. The current banking location of the main banking facility in Pinckneyville was constructed during 1982-83. The staff moved from the west side of the courthouse square to the east side in March of that year.
Murphy-Wall State Bank formed a one-bank holding company, Murphy-Wall Bancorp, Inc. in April of 1994. Murphy-Wall State Bank embraced the advent of commerce on the Internet, and was the first bank in Perry County with an on-line presence.
For well over a century, Murphy-Wall State Bank and Trust Company has been an integral part of communities, providing special activities programs to help the region and its people. Murphy-Wall State Bank and Trust Company continues to provide banking with TLC — Tradition, Leadership, and Commitment.
