## Who are Simmons First National Corporation's competitors, and what are the alternatives?

Simmons's 2025 10-K, filed February 25, 2026, says there is significant competition among commercial banks in its markets and names savings institutions, credit unions, finance companies, brokerages, insurers and fintech companies, including competitors that operate only in digital channels without a branch network's overhead. It runs about 222 financial centers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. In its home state the rivals are Arkansas banks of similar size: Arvest, which serves more than 110 communities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma; Bank OZK, headquartered in Little Rock; and Home BancShares, whose Centennial Bank runs 75 Arkansas branches. In Missouri and Kansas it meets Commerce and UMB, both of Kansas City, and in Texas and Oklahoma Prosperity, whose deck claims a strong presence in both states; Simmons hired a commercial executive in June 2026 to lead C&I strategy across Texas, Nashville, Kansas City and St. Louis, where FirstBank is Nashville's home bank. Non-banks are named in the 10-K itself: consumers can now hold funds in brokerage accounts and internet-only banks, which is where SoFi, with 15.8 million members, Chime and Charles Schwab compete for Simmons's deposits. Simmons is closing 26 branches on December 4, 2026 while saying deposits are its first reinvestment priority.

## What does Simmons Bank say about its competition?

"There is significant competition among commercial banks in our various market areas. In addition, we also compete with other providers of financial services, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, securities firms, insurance companies, full service brokerage firms, discount brokerage firms and fintech companies. Some of our competitors have greater resources and, as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other services that we do not provide. Some of our competitors operate only in digital channels, which may result in those competitors investing greater resources in information technology and digital product and service delivery without the overhead associated with a branch network. We generally compete on the basis of customer service and responsiveness to customer needs, available loan and deposit products, the rates of interest charged on loans, the rates of interest paid for funds, and the availability and pricing of trust and brokerage services." ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

"Nonbank competitors are increasingly offering products and services that traditionally were bank products. Many of these nonbank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks, which may allow them to offer greater lending limits and certain products and services that the Company and its affiliates do not provide." ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

From the risk factors of the same 10-K: "These competitors include banks with nationwide presences, regional banks, and community banks (who may have greater flexibility in their operational strategies than we possess). We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including, among others, credit unions, finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms." ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

"For example, consumers can now hold funds in brokerage accounts and internet-only banks, or indeed with essentially any bank that provides for online account opening and online banking. Consumers can also complete transactions such as the purchase or sale of goods and services, the payment of bills, and the transfer of funds without the direct assistance of banks. Indeed, non-traditional financial services firms, such as financial technology (FinTech) companies, have begun to offer a variety of services traditionally provided by banks and other financial institutions." (2025 Form 10-K, filed February 25, 2026.) ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

## Common questions

### Is Home BancShares a competitor of Simmons?

Yes. Both are Arkansas banks in the same 2026 proxy peer group, and Home BancShares' Centennial Bank runs 75 Arkansas branches, 59 in Texas and eight in Tennessee, three of Simmons's states. On AI both are quiet: Home scores 3.5 on this site's index and Simmons 3.6, and neither discloses an AI programme. ([Home BancShares (GlobeNewswire via Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/home-bancshares-inc-announces-completion-121500941.html), [Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000119312526146412/d74667ddef14a.htm), [Home BancShares (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1331520/000133152026000051/homb-20251231.htm), [Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

### Who competes with Simmons in Texas?

Prosperity, the Houston-based bank that claims a strong presence in Texas and Oklahoma and had 363 locations after closing Stellar on July 1, 2026, and Home BancShares, with 59 Texas branches. Simmons hired Jim Recer, a former Houston market president, in June 2026 to lead its C&I strategy in Texas, Nashville, Kansas City and St. Louis. ([Prosperity Bancshares](https://prosperitybankusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IP-2Q26-Final_51ca22.pdf), [Home BancShares (GlobeNewswire via Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/home-bancshares-inc-announces-completion-121500941.html), [Simmons Bank](https://ir.simmonsbank.com/2026-06-09-Simmons-Bank-Taps-Veteran-Banker-Jim-Recer-to-Lead-C-I-Strategy-in-Key-Markets))

### Who are Simmons Bank's biggest competitors?

In Arkansas, Arvest, Bank OZK and Home BancShares' Centennial Bank; in Missouri and Kansas, Commerce and UMB; in Texas and Oklahoma, Prosperity; in Tennessee, FirstBank. Most sit in Simmons's 2026 proxy peer group. Its 10-K also names credit unions, brokerages, insurers, finance companies, fintechs and digital-only competitors. ([Baker Hill (PR Newswire)](https://prnewswire.com/news-releases/arvest-bank-deepens-three-decade-partnership-with-baker-hill-upgrades-to-unfy-platform-to-advance-small-business-lending-302682843.html), [Bank OZK](https://ir.ozk.com/static-files/85bc2c70-5e10-4a19-978d-44b39d79d6fa), [Home BancShares (GlobeNewswire via Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/home-bancshares-inc-announces-completion-121500941.html), [Commerce Bancshares](https://commercebank.com/-/media/cb/pdf/about-us/commerce-bancshares-inc-at-a-glance.pdf), [American Banker](https://www.americanbanker.com/news/2025-the-most-powerful-women-to-watch-no-15-uma-wilson-umb-bank), [Prosperity Bancshares](https://prosperitybankusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IP-2Q26-Final_51ca22.pdf), [Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000119312526146412/d74667ddef14a.htm), [Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

### Is Arvest a competitor of Simmons?

Yes, across most of Simmons's footprint. Arvest serves more than 110 communities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, four of Simmons's six states, and had $28.05 billion of assets at June 30, 2026. On this site's AI index Arvest scores 37.2 against Simmons's 3.6, mainly on its Google Cloud and core modernisation record. ([Baker Hill (PR Newswire)](https://prnewswire.com/news-releases/arvest-bank-deepens-three-decade-partnership-with-baker-hill-upgrades-to-unfy-platform-to-advance-small-business-lending-302682843.html), [FDIC](https://api.fdic.gov/banks/financials?filters=CERT%3A8728&fields=REPDTE%2CASSET%2CDEP%2CNUMEMP%2CNETINC&sort_by=REPDTE&sort_order=DESC&limit=4), [Bank Automation News](https://bankautomationnews.com/allposts/cloud/arvest-bank-moves-40-of-apps-to-cloud/))

### Is SoFi a competitor of Simmons?

By category, yes. Simmons's 10-K says consumers can now hold funds in internet-only banks and that some competitors operate only in digital channels. SoFi had 15.8 million members in Q2 2026. Neither names the other; Simmons says deposits are the first priority for reinvesting savings from its branch closures. ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm), [Business Wire via FT Markets](https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=600-202607290700BIZWIRE_USPRX____20260729_BW569583-1), [The Motley Fool (Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/simmons-first-sfnc-q3-2026-171510762.html))

### Why is Simmons closing 26 branches?

To fund reinvestment. Its 8-K says the closures take effect December 4, 2026, affect about 100 associates and cost $20 million to $23 million pre-tax. Brogdon said on the October 16 call that the bank has not exited any markets, that some closures are in markets where it recently built branches, and that the capacity will be reinvested in talent, deposits and technology. ([Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000119312526381967/d489413d8k.htm), [The Motley Fool (Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/simmons-first-sfnc-q3-2026-171510762.html))

### What are alternatives to Simmons for small business banking?

Arvest digitised small-business applications and underwriting on Baker Hill's UN/FY platform in February 2026, and Square sells payments, point-of-sale software and banking products to sellers and lists banks among its competitors. Simmons offers commercial banking products to businesses through its six-state network. ([Baker Hill (PR Newswire)](https://prnewswire.com/news-releases/arvest-bank-deepens-three-decade-partnership-with-baker-hill-upgrades-to-unfy-platform-to-advance-small-business-lending-302682843.html), [Block, Inc. via SEC EDGAR](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1512673/000162828026012254/xyz-20251231.htm), [Simmons First National (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/90498/000162828026011618/sfnc-20251231.htm))

### Does Simmons compete with Commerce Bank?

Yes, in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma: Commerce's markets include St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Wichita, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Simmons hired Jim Recer in June 2026 to lead C&I strategy in Texas, Nashville, Kansas City and St. Louis. In wealth, Commerce administers $94.5 billion of trust assets. ([Commerce Bancshares](https://commercebank.com/-/media/cb/pdf/about-us/commerce-bancshares-inc-at-a-glance.pdf), [Simmons Bank](https://ir.simmonsbank.com/2026-06-09-Simmons-Bank-Taps-Veteran-Banker-Jim-Recer-to-Lead-C-I-Strategy-in-Key-Markets))

### How does Simmons compare with Bank OZK?

Both are Arkansas banks, and Bank OZK sits in Simmons's 2026 proxy peer group, but their models differ: Bank OZK is a construction and CRE lender with a Real Estate Specialties Group book of over $15 billion, while Simmons is a branch-based regional bank. Bank OZK is co-developing Fiserv agentOS agents; Simmons has disclosed no AI programme.
