Our Goal is Simple:  People Who Make The Difference

At Texas Bank and Trust, community is more than just an idea. It is a place where our story begins; where our families grow; where faith leads us home. It is that sense of belonging we feel when we come together with shared responsibilities and common values. It is neighbors helping neighbors - and we become people who make the difference.
The bold symbol of Texas Bank and Trust unites our bank's time-honored traditions with our progressive vision for the future. Its unity and integrity reflect our pride in being an East Texas owned, independent bank. The arrows represent our three primary commitments - to individuals, to business and industry, and to the communities we serve.

TBT's Spirit of Giving unites our bank’s call to service with the power of our human and financial capital to develop our East Texas and North Texas communities into vibrant areas where individuals, families, and businesses can grow and prosper. While our business of providing financial management and banking resources is necessary for the growth of those communities, our role as a responsible community partner helps to ensure the viability and vibrancy of our society for many years to come.
TBT's Spirit of Giving Fund seeks to provide a positive and measurable impact on the communities we serve through our financial, volunteer, and in-kind support of educational, cultural, and social service programs throughout the region. To address the opportunities and challenges facing our local communities, we support a diverse group of organizations and initiatives working to improve lives.

Our objective is to enhance the economic opportunity, financial self-sufficiency, educational advancement, health and welfare, and quality of life of all of our East Texas neighbors.
