Like you, we had a vision. In 1993 our founders saw a need for a bank in our community that would focus on small to medium-sized businesses—a bank that was willing to take a chance on the success of our clients by focusing on what is best for them. They were the pioneers of a new idea: entrepreneurs serving other entrepreneurs. These forward-thinking founders shared a vision of how they would deliver banking services differently than your traditional bank. They wanted to better serve small businesses—the backbone of the community. They fueled opportunity by being personal, responsive and flexible with banking solutions. We still recognize this vision and are grateful for the direction that was set by our founding shareholders. Because we’ve traveled that long, bumpy road, we know that each mile has its challenges. But each time an obstacle is overcome, the momentum goes forward. When we identify opportunities, we don’t assign limits. You’re a business owner because you saw an opportunity that others couldn’t see or were afraid to reach for. You already have what it takes, but if you need more, let us be your guide along the road to success. Let us fuel your opportunity. Much is claimed by financial organizations that say they are community focused. American National Bank was born right here. To us, being community-driven means having an ingrained commitment to leading and participating in grassroots efforts that benefit all who live here in our community. When you win, we all win.
