Evolve Bank & Trust, which was originally known as First State Bank, began in the Cross County city of Parkin in 1925. Evolve now has several locations, most of which are in eastern Arkansas.

In June of 2024, the Federal Reserve Board issued an enforcement action against Evolve for “deficiencies in the bank’s anti-money laundering, risk management, and consumer compliance programs.”
