Building Legacies: Meet Our New Chief Trust Officer

Farmers & Merchants Bank and The Bank of Fayetteville are proud to introduce Kelly Davis as Chief Trust Officer. Davis will lead the Trust & Wealth Management department and continue our commitment to serving Arkansas families and businesses with integrity and care.

With nearly 15 years of experience in financial services, Davis spent the last decade at the Arkansas State Bank Department. There, he served as a Certified Bank Examination Manager–Trust Supervisor, specializing in fiduciary oversight for both large and community banks. His background also includes experience in trust and brokerage operations at First Community Bank, as well as time as a licensed financial advisor.

“I’m honored to join a community bank that puts trusted relationships first,” Davis shared. “Leading the Trust & Wealth Management team gives me a great opportunity to help Arkansas families and businesses safeguard and grow their legacies.”

A Batesville native, Davis graduated with a finance degree from the University of Central Arkansas in 2010 and now resides in Northwest Arkansas. His knowledge, leadership, and dedication to building strong client relationships make him an excellent fit for our team.

We are excited to see the impact Kelly will make as he helps guide our clients in planning for the future with clarity, stability, and confidence. Together, we remain committed to being a trusted partner—rooted in Arkansas and dedicated to growing strong communities.
