Bank opens new branch, expands reach

SARASOTA — Crews Bank & Trust has opened its new Sarasota office.

The full-service branch is at 15 S. Palm Ave. in downtown Sarasota. The 2,500-square-foot facility was completely renovated, according to a press release. It has a modern, open concept with a conference room, safe deposit box room, waiting areas and a hospitality bar.

Financial services offered at the bank include personal and business banking, lending services, and trust and investment management.

Vice President and Relationship Manager Christine Davis leads the team at the new office. She has more than 25 years of experience in retail banking, treasury management and residential lending. Davis has lived in Sarasota for over 20 years. 

“There’s no better person than Christine to lead our Sarasota expansion,” says Crews Bank & Trust President Kevin Hagan in the statement. “Her knowledge, experience and leadership skills make her the perfect fit.”

Established in 1973 as The First State Bank of Arcadia, Crews Bank & Trust also operates two full-service offices in Arcadia and a satellite loan-production office in Manatee County. Crews Bank & Trust is one of four banks owned by the Crews Banking Corp., a privately held Florida bank holding company.
