Stride Bank, formerly known as Central National Bank in Bartlesville has officially changed it's name. The bank held a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday morning to welcome the new name. Market President Tony Winters said the Bartlesville branch will embrace the name change as they continue to grow in the financial industry with their customers.

Stride is a one of a kind name, Winters said. When you hear the name Stride Bank, Winters said you will know that they will be there for you every step of the way.

Winters said Stride Bank looks to make strides with their existing and new customers with all their financial needs. He says despite the name change, they are the same people with the same services.

The Central National Bank signage will remain on the building for a couple more weeks, but the name has changed. Winters says headquarters for Stride Bank out of Enid wants to transition smoothly for its customers.
