About Our Sarasota Branch
Located in the heart of Sarasota’s business district, our 2,500-square-foot branch opened in December of 2019. The space was completely renovated as a full-service office. We melded modern technology with traditional, hometown service, making sure our customers don’t have to choose between service and technology — we give them both.
Backed by over 90 years of serving Florida residents and businesses, our office follows the time-honored tradition of building relationships that span generations. The bottom line is that our staff listens to and works with our customers.

A Modern Bank for Sarasota
Designed with a modern, open concept, our branch features amenities that make us an inviting place for business people. We have a curved teller pod, four dedicated offices, a conference room, safe-deposit-box viewing room, comfortable waiting areas and a hospitality bar with coffee, biscotti, soda, water, pet water bowls and dog biscuits. The vast majority of our customers are walk-ins, so we have an exterior-access ATM.
A Premiere Banking Experience
We offer a premier banking experience with flexible and creative financial options and convenient features and tools to help our customers and clients succeed. Many of these products and services are not available elsewhere, including on-site professional estate planning and investment management services to help you make wise financial decisions for you, your family and your heirs.
