“Customized. Focused. Dedicated. Safe.”
Customized. Sabal Palm Bank provides a suite of banking services that are customized specifically for the community association industry. We make life easier for property management companies, condominium associations, and homeowner associations. We provide unit owners numerous ways to pay their association maintenance fees and special assessments then we process these payments, ensure they get to the correct account, and finally send vital payment information back to whoever is responsible for accounting for the payment activity.

The bank’s loan process is quick, with 100% of all loan decisions made right here in Sarasota by people who have been lending to associations for over 20 years.
