Arkansas Capital Corporation rebrands as ACC Capital

Arkansas Capital Corporation (ACC) announced Tuesday (April 22) it has changed its name to ACC Capital, effective April 8, 2025.

The new name reflects the growth of the organization’s client base and product and service offerings to small businesses nationwide.

“Our new company name signifies a need for change to reflect our national lending footprint, while giving a nod to our extensive history in Arkansas,” said Sam Walls III, Chief Executive Officer. “Our board of directors and corporate team are excited about the opportunities that will come from our new name that symbolizes the organization’s future direction.”

Founded in 1957, Little Rock-based ACC has partnered with commercial banks and government agencies at the local, state, regional, and national levels to deploy over $2.34 billion in capital financing.

In 2023, the nonprofit CDFI [Community Development Financial Institution] was one of three organizations to receive a Small Business Lending Company license from the U.S. Small Business Administration, the first license awarded in nearly 40 years.

ACC Capital initially launched its small business lending products and services in the southeastern U.S., but is expanding its support nationally.
