History

The bank was founded in 1900[1] under the name Oakwood State Bank.

In 1958, Roddy Rawls Wiley, Jr. took over the bank after his father died.

In 2005, the bank received a "substantial noncompliance" rating for lack of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act.[2]

In 2009, the bank was referred to as "America's Smallest Bank" as it had only $3 million in total assets and $2.13 million in total deposits.[3]

For most of its existence, in addition to Wiley, the bank had only 2 other employees, 76-year-old Lela Coates and 71-year-old Neta Eldridge. It had no automated teller machines.[4][5]

After the death of Wiley in 2010, the bank was acquired by Dorothy Cadenhead.

In April 2017, the bank raised $38 million in capital by selling a controlling stake to new management, allowing the bank to open a branch in Dallas, Texas. The bank also changed its name from "Oakwood State Bank" to "Oakwood Bank".[6]

gollark: Label resolution failed to consider this.
gollark: I made a great decision to include no way whatsoever to specify immediate parameters, and every single operand is just an arbitrary memory location.
gollark: Ah. Yes. The issue is that I don't actually understand my own instruction set whatsoever.
gollark: Hmm, is this an actual *codegen* issue?
gollark: Anyway, it was *not* as it turns out anything to do with the label forward declarationy thing, which somehow works perfectly for no apparent reason.
