Jefferson Bank Names Darrell Mantle President

Jefferson City, Mo. (November 9, 2026) — Jefferson Bank has named Darrell Mantle president, effective December 7.

A familiar face to Jefferson City, Mantle brings over 30 years of banking experience to his new role, including 12 years as a community bank president. His experience includes lending, branch management, community development, and, most recently, financial planning and trust administration. Mantle holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Certified Trust and Fiduciary Advisor (CTFA) designation and is nearing completion of his Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) certification.

“Community banking has always been about people — knowing our customers by name, understanding what matters to them and showing up when they need us,” said Mantle. “Jefferson Bank has built its reputation on exactly that. I’m honored to step into this role, and I look forward to working alongside our team to carry those relationships and traditions forward.”

Brandy Bryant has led Jefferson Bank since 2022; she has accepted a new role within Central Bancompany, Inc. as Head of Consumer and Small Business Lending.

Bryant said Mantle’s experience and familiarity with the organization make him well positioned to lead the bank.

“Darrell understands firsthand what makes community banking special: building lasting relationships and being truly invested in the people we serve,” said Bryant. “His career reflects the personal, relationship-driven approach that is at the heart of who we are at Jefferson Bank, and we are confident in a smooth transition.”

As Jefferson Bank's president, Mantle will focus on providing continuity for the bank’s employees, customers and community partners while positioning Jefferson Bank for continued success.

“Our customers count on us for experienced bankers, decisions made locally, and genuine personal service,” said Mantle. “My priority is to make sure that never changes — to stay committed to the people, relationships and traditions that have always set Jefferson Bank apart, while continuing to grow the ways we serve them.”
