KS Bank to bring full-service community banking back to Roseboro
By Staff Report, posted Aug 24, 2026 on BizFayetteville.com
KS Bank announced today that it plans to open its first Sampson County financial center at 201 E. Roseboro Street in downtown Roseboro. Expected to open in November, the full-service branch will bring local, in-person banking back to a community that has been without a bank for nearly four years.
Roseboro lost two bank branches within approximately six months of one another in 2022 and 2023. Town officials and business leaders never stopped working to restore convenient access to banking services for residents, farmers and businesses throughout Roseboro and Western Sampson County.
That commitment included an extraordinary investment by Houston "Chip" Crumpler III and his family. When one of the former bank buildings became available, the family purchased it with the specific goal of preserving the property as a banking location and attracting a community bank to Roseboro.
"Roseboro never stopped believing that local banking matters," said Earl W. Worley, Jr., president and CEO of KS Bank, in a press release. "The determination shown by the town's leaders, business community and residents over the past several years reflects the kind of community spirit that aligns with who we are as a bank. We are coming to Roseboro to build personal relationships, support local businesses, farmers and families, and invest in the community for the long term. We are honored to help bring full-service community banking back to Roseboro and Western Sampson County."
The Roseboro location will be KS Bank's first financial center in Sampson County and, when opened, its 13th location.
“The Town of Roseboro is thrilled that KS Bank will soon be locating a branch in downtown Roseboro,” said Mayor Alice Butler in a press release. “It has been almost four years since our banks closed, but our town's business leaders never stopped working to find a bank to serve the citizens of Roseboro and the surrounding community. We know that having a strong local bank is essential to our continued growth and prosperity. With more than 100 years of experience serving small communities, KS Bank is the perfect fit for Roseboro. We encourage everyone to welcome and support KS Bank when they open their doors.”
Houston "Chip" Crumpler III, president of Crumpler Plastic Pipe, Inc., said his family viewed the former bank's property as an important community asset that should continue serving its original purpose.
"When the former bank building became available, my family made the commitment to purchase it with a specific goal: to preserve it as a banking location and help bring convenient financial services back to Roseboro," Crumpler said in a press release. "KS Bank is exactly the kind of community bank we hoped to attract - one that values Main Street, locally owned businesses, personal relationships and the communities it serves. Its presence will restore an important resource for residents, farmers and businesses and help move Roseboro and Western Sampson County forward."
The Roseboro branch is expected to offer a full range of deposit and lending services for individuals and businesses, along with in-branch and drive-thru teller service and 24-hour ATM access. Customers will also have access to KS Bank's online and mobile banking platforms, mortgage services and wealth management capabilities.
Commercial Relationship Manager Collin Peregoy will be part of the KS Bank team supporting businesses and customers in Roseboro and the surrounding Western Sampson County community.
Additional information about the branch opening, operating hours and community events will be announced as plans are finalized.
