Duke Replaces Duke at Capital BankLock Icon

1 min read

There’s a new face in the president’s office at Capital Bank of Little Rock. Actually, it’s pretty much like the previous face.

Troy Duke left Gateway Bank of Rison last month to succeed his identical twin brother Tracy as president of Capital Bank.

Tracy Duke, meanwhile, has relocated to Arvest Bank in Springdale, where he’s a senior vice president and commercial banker.

The brothers’ moves, in turn, were predicated on a new job for Tracy’s wife, perhaps the best known of the Dukes.

Jane Duke, former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas and most recently a member of the Little Rock law firm of Mitchell Williams Selig Gates & Woodyard, has joined Tyson Foods Inc. as vice president and associate general counsel.

Troy Duke said he would be selling his minority interest in Gateway Bank. You may recall that he and Garland County businessman L.R. Gardner formed Sigma Holdings Inc. in 2013 to purchase what was then the Bank of Rison, the smallest bank in Arkansas with a single office and assets of about $23 million.

Gateway, as it was renamed in 2015, now has branches in Malvern and Bryant and assets of about $78 million and there are 13 smaller banks chartered in the state.

“I’m very proud of what I was able to do,” Troy said. “We took the smallest bank in Arkansas and tripled it in size.”
