工作日,Simmons Bank

Simmons Bank has catapulted from approximately $3.2 billion in assets to a more than $20 billion-asset company operating in eight states. More than the company’s recent growth, however, what truly sets Simmons apart is its strong heritage as a community bank – warmth, trust and personal touch define its culture, and are felt at every level of the company.

Founded in 1903, Simmons now operates more than 200 branch locations throughout Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. The bank offers a full suite of financial products and services, backed by strong relationships with customers and communities.

Simmons is the subsidiary bank for Simmons First National Corporation, a publicly traded bank holding company headquartered in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

Workday has helped us reduce reconciliations across departments. We now have integrated business processes where data moves through the system systematically as opposed to manually.
