Mabrey Bank hired Bobby McAlpine as a commercial lending officer as an addition to its growing commercial lending team. Based out of East Central Oklahoma, McAlpine will be primarily focused on agricultural and recreational land loans throughout the region.

McAlpine arrives at Mabrey following 15 years with Armstrong Bank, the last 12 of those spent as the market president in Tahlequah. Over that time, he developed long-lasting relationships with his customers and community while providing excellent financial service and care.

“Bobby brings significant experience and a wealth of knowledge into additional products and lines of business for Mabrey Bank,” Mark Mabrey, East Central OK regional president of Mabrey Bank, said. “His passion, drive and work ethic in banking is exceptional, and we are proud to have him as a part of our team.”

A Northeastern State University undergraduate with a degree in organizational leadership, McAlpine earned his graduate certificate from the SW Graduate School of Banking at SMU in Dallas, Texas.

“I’m grateful to the Mabrey family for giving me the opportunity to pursue my passion in agricultural and commercial lending,” McAlpine said. “Given the unique products Mabrey Bank offers, mixed with the bank’s history of exceptional customer service, I have a strong platform to provide an outstanding experience to current and prospective clients.”
