About Our Boca Grande Branch
It’s easy to see why management chose this small, residential community on Gasparilla Island in southwest Florida to open a branch in 1988. Residents and visitors appreciate our combination of banking expertise and personal, hometown service.
Gasparilla Island is a part of both Charlotte and Lee counties, while the actual village of Boca Grande, which is home to many seasonal and year-round residents, is entirely in the Lee County portion of the island. The historic Gasparilla Inn and Club, a premier destination along Florida’s Gulf Coast since 1913, has welcomed many famous guests, including J.P. Morgan, Henry du Pont, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, President George H.W. Bush and his family, and actress Katharine Hepburn. With its pale-yellow, wooden frame and Victorian-style gable roofs, the Inn offers a true taste of “old Florida” and is listed among Historic Hotels of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

A Premiere Banking Experience
We tailor our products and services for the individuals, businesses, and community organizations that bank with us. Our staff enjoys greeting customers when they come to the office and is enthusiastic about our unique services, including our locally based Trust and Wealth Management programs.
A Bank For The Island
Heavily involved in the community, we support the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce, and we have volunteered with two Chamber tarpon fishing tournaments – the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament and the Ladies Day Tarpon Tournament. Our team won the latter event in 2019. We also support Boca Grande schools, civic groups, and nonprofits, with staff members participating in a variety of activities.
