From 1891 until 1902, The Bank of Perryville served as the only bank in Perry County, Missouri. As other banks were organized, the officers of The Bank of Perryville wished their competitors well and proceeded independently.

In June 1997, The Bank of Perryville changed its name to The Bank of Missouri, and expanded into Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Another location in Perryville was also built in 1997, and a loan production office opened in Jackson, Missouri in 1998.
