About Our Punta Gorda Branch
Our Punta Gorda branch is located in a 5,000-square-foot facility on the corner of Tamiami Trail and Airport Road. We started out in a temporary modular facility while the branch was being constructed and moved to the current location in 1999. We quickly developed a loyal customer following that has grown over the years, becoming the “Hometown Bank" for Punta Gorda and surrounding areas. We practice the friendly, hometown service, offering our personal and business customers banking and borrowing services for area residents and businesses. Our Trust and Wealth Management services division greatly contributed to our success, as local residents came to rely on our professional trustee and asset management services.

Committed To The Community
We care about our customers and our community, and we show it through the way we treat our customers and the way we support our community. Examples include our association with the Punta Gorda Rotary and Team Punta Gorda. The latter is an all-volunteer organization founded in the wake of Hurricane Charley to help rebuild the city and help make Punta Gorda a better place to live and work, while the Punta Gorda Rotary stages the annual “Taste of Punta Gorda,” a major fundraiser. Our branch is a proud supporter of both.
A Hometown Partner
We provide a Hometown Touch with our products and services. We are proud to offer loans with quick decisions and no surprises. As a family-owned business, we don’t have to jump through traditional corporate hoops. The time it takes us to approve and process your loan is measured in weeks, not months.
