Alliance Bank was chartered as Sulphur Springs State Bank on June 13, 1927, by the two largest shareholders of First State Bank which had failed. Located at the Southwest corner of Main and Gilmer Streets, the bank was profitable that first year and has remained profitable ever since. A fire at the original location in 1934 facilitated the move to the North side of the Sulphur Springs square where the bank has maintained a permanent presence.
Cotton Farmers became dairymen as attractive loans by the bank enabled them to change agricultural careers.
Sulphur Springs State Bank came to Hunt county in July 1990 and from there began moving east , west and into the metroplex. Those movements necessitated a name change to Alliance Bank in October 1996.
The bank purchased Galyean Insurance Agency and opened a brokerage company—Alliance Financial Services—to meet the business and personal needs of its customers at home or with their businesses.
“The best is ALL we do” is the motto that undergirds the decisions and actions of a banking institution that will soon celebrate one hundred years of service in Sulphur Springs and its vicinity.
