Located in the heart of the city’s business district at 15 S. Palm Ave., the 2,500- square-foot facility has been completely renovated as a full service branch. The various financial services offered include personal and business banking, complete lending services and Trust and Investment Management. “I want to thank everyone involved throughout this entire renovation process…it was definitely a team effort!” Hagan said. “We could not have completed this project without their support.” Designed with a modern, open concept, the office features engagement areas to best serve client’s needs. A conference room, safe deposit box room, comfortable waiting areas and a hospitality bar featuring treats for clients and their four-legged friends, provides a pleasant environment. Christine Davis, Vice President and Relationship Manager, a familiar figure in financial and community circles in Sarasota, is leading the team at the new office. With more than 25 years’ experience in retail banking, treasury management and residential lending, Christine has lived in Sarasota for over 20 years and has immersed herself in both the business and nonprofit communities. “There’s no better person than Christine to lead our Sarasota expansion,” said Kevin. “Her knowledge, experience and leadership skills make her the perfect fit.” “We’re so excited to be open in this section of downtown Sarasota,” Christine said. “This area of downtown offers the obvious growing business opportunities, as well as great residential and cultural elements. When you think about it, this area of Sarasota has one of the most diverse downtown corridors in the entire state.” Crews Bank & Trust, has been in operation since 1973. It is one of four Florida banks owned by Crews Banking Corporation, a community bank holding company which has been serving Florida communities for over 90 years. “People come to community banks for the personal service element and for local decision-making, but they often have to give up on the variety of products and the enhanced technology the bigger banks offer,” Christine stated. “At Crews Bank & Trust, we don’t want our customers to choose between service and technology. We want to give them both, and then some. “Our team is local,” she added. ”We meet with our customers face to face.” For additional information, stop by the Sarasota office at 15 S. Palm Ave. from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. You may also contact the office at 941-888-6080 or email CBT_Sarasota@crews.bank.
