“This relationship underscores our commitment to serving those who have served our country and ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed as employees and business owners,” says Mike Ring, Co-founder, President, and CEO of Old Glory Bank.

ELMORE CITY, OK— Old Glory Bank is proud to support Oplign, a leading platform for employment solutions for veterans and veteran-owned small businesses. This collaboration aims to empower veteran entrepreneurs by giving them access to a rich pool of qualified job candidates with military backgrounds at no cost.

Through Oplign, veteran-owned businesses can seamlessly connect with service members transitioning out of active-duty as well as veterans seeking employment opportunities. By leveraging Oplign’s innovative employment platform, these businesses have access to a unique database of veteran job candidates, enhancing their ability to find and hire skilled talent who understand the value of dedication, leadership, and teamwork.

“We are excited to support Oplign and their work to create more opportunities for veteran-owned businesses and support the career transitions of servicemembers and veterans,” said Mike Ring, President and CEO of Old Glory Bank, an Air Force veteran himself. “We believe in supporting veterans because we are veterans. This relationship underscores our commitment to serving those who have served our country and ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed as employees and business owners.”

“We’ve already demonstrated that we put action behind our words when we say we support our military,” adds Steve Paganucci, Chief Security Officer of Old Glory Bank and Army veteran. “We recently released Old Glory Protect, a free $100,000 Line-of-Duty Death Benefit for active-duty Armed Forces, as well as First Responders and U.S. Border Patrol, who maintain an Old Glory Bank account with direct deposit. Working with Oplign to support our veterans and servicemembers moving out of active duty was a natural extension of that support, an opportunity we were eager to implement.”

By facilitating direct access to veteran-owned businesses, Oplign helps to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment, offering servicemembers and veterans meaningful career opportunities in environments where their unique skills are valued.

“Oplign is thrilled to join forces with Old Glory Bank in this mission,” said Mike Grow, CEO, of Oplign. “Together, we are strengthening the veteran community by fostering connections that drive both business growth and career development.”

Through this initiative, both Old Glory Bank and Oplign are dedicated to fostering an ecosystem where veteran-owned businesses thrive, and veterans and transitioning servicemembers find rewarding careers. Old Glory Bank and Oplign provide valuable support to those who have dedicated their lives to serving the nation.
