Core Values
The banking experience we offer at GSB is the result of core values that have driven our growth from
a small financial institution in a rural dairy town into a true South Texas banking partner.
Exceptional Customer
Service
We believe you shouldn’t have to trust impersonal institutions with personal finances. That’s why we focus on providing you with exceptional banking with a personal touch.
Hometown Values
As a relationship-driven community bank, we maintain the same values that define South Texas. To us, you’re not just another number, you’re a valued client.
Utmost Integrity
of the Bank
At Greater State Bank, we value our clients and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of honesty, transparency, and efficiency. When you bank with us, you can trust that we’ve got your back.
Serving The Community
We’re passionate about empowering the community, so we partner with local organizations to further advance the growth of South Texas and support local business owners.
Board of Directors
Greater State Bank is owned and operated by local Texas residents with a deep understanding of the area, customer needs,
and the challenges small businesses face. Their sound decision-making drives our continued growth.
