There are shareholders today that go back generations. “That’s the benefit of having built those relationships with our customers,” said H.B. Ruckman III, the fifth Ruckman to have served as President of Karnes County National Bank and now is still serving on the board. Alec Alexander, President of Karnes County National Bank agrees, “The availability to have a personal connection with entities that deal with your hard earned money is invaluable, and the accessibility to have the small town, one on one connection that has gone by the wayside is still a huge need.” This is exactly why Karnes County National Bank is opening a new branch in Beeville, in addition to its Karnes City and Kenedy locations.
