Sabal Palm Bank is a locally owned and operated community bank with offices in Sarasota and Venice.  The Bank's exclusive mission is to serve the businesses, individuals and entrepreneurs in the communities we serve.

The Bank was founded in 2006 by local shareholders and a local board of directors.  After weathering several years of challenging economic conditions, the Bank became one of the first community banks in the country to successfully raise new capital post the Great Recession.  More important, during a time when many community banks are actually owned or controlled by out of area investors, Sabal Palm Bank continues to be truly locally owned and operated.

We are passionate about serving the needs of our community.  This includes working side by side with local business owners to help them meet their growth goals.  To help make the dream of home ownership possible, we have created numerous home loan products to meet the varying needs of individuals and families throughout the region.  Other products and services including our Self-Directed IRA's and our Home Owners Associations Services were created to specifically serve needs not being met in the community.

As the banking industry has changed, we have continued to evolve to meet the different ways people and businesses perform their daily banking.  In addition to traditional branches, drive-thrus and ATMs, Sabal Palm Bank offers state of the art technology including e-banking, mobile banking, EMV debit cards, remote check capture, text & email payments, etc.  While we are committed to providing a wide range of banking technology, we are just as committed to ongoing, advanced cyber-security practices.

Most important, we are a Bank made of experienced professionals that also call this area home.  We care about our customers and we care about our community.

Sabal Palm Bank's Board of Directors consists of the following ten individuals that live, work and support this area.

If you are not from the Sarasota/Manatee county area, you may think of our home towns as a destination; great beaches, great sports and entertainment, unbelievable cultural opportunities, outstanding medical facilities, sun and blue skies are the expected.  If you live here, its a thriving community meant for all ages.  Like all home towns, Sarasota/Manatee has a buzz of it's own with businesses working hard to grow and develop,  government working to improve the standard of living and the citizenship invested in keeping paradise, Paradise.  At Sabal Palm Bank, "Our Community" is just a small part of the bigger picture.  But every decision, every dollar loaned, every service offered is intended to better that small part.  The Board and Management of Sabal Palm Bank believe in this community, Paradise.    

Sabal Palm Bank believes in our Community and Customers.  One example is the relationship enjoyed with Jon Whittemore and Rolling Green Golf Club.  Jon and his fellow investors came to Sabal Palm Bank with a plan to revitalize a golf complex in an older established Sarasota neighborhood post the Great Recession.  Based on the recent past, golf course financing was out of vogue.  Rick Halloran, EVP/Sr. Lender, and Jon were able to structure the financing in a way that works.  Today, Rolling Green is a thriving Golf Club.  As an added benefit, in October, Jon and his team hosted the Sabal Palm Bank First Annual "Pink the Links" supporting Breast Cancer Awareness.       

Rolling Green Golf Club is located at 4501 Tuttle Avenue, Sarasota, FL .  Course length 6500 yd.
