Arvest Holdings Company Description
Arvest Holdings owns Arvest Bank, which operates more than 200 locations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

It maintains a decentralized structure of about 15 individually chartered banks; local managers and directors control lending decisions and deposit rates in many communities. Arvest has grown to be the biggest bank in Arkansas largely via acquisitions; it expanded into Kansas when it bought Caney Valley Bancshares in 2007.
