2020 Community Report
Cultivating a stronger community.
"It is a pleasure and an honor to present the third annual Five Star Bank Community Report. Across the organization, our associates are making a difference because of their dedication to serving our customers and improving our communities. Within this report we have endeavored to illustrate some of the ways that Five Star Bank is making a positive impact in our communities.
Since March of this year, we’ve had to change the way we operate. We responded swiftly to the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented an array of actions to protect the health and safety of our associates and customers while providing support to our consumer and business customers. The illustration on the last page of this report provides an overview of actions taken... Our organization transitioned very quickly from business-as-usual operations to a new standard of working together from multiple locations across our footprint. Our associates have continued to work every day, ready to serve our customers and improve our communities. "

2019 Community Report
At the heart of a flourishing community.
"We have provided community support in multiple ways since the publication of our inaugural community report in June of last year, including some exciting new initiatives. On the following pages, you’ll learn about these initiatives as well as the many programs, products and services we offer to help the residents of our communities. We are focused on helping all our customers build financial security because we understand that placing our customers’ financial well-being at the heart of everything we do goes beyond the walls of our institution.
I am proud of my Five Star teammates and their commitment as well. They give freely of their time, talent and financial resources, and many participate as volunteers, trustees and committee members of charitable organizations. Giving back is a high priority for all of us at Five Star Bank and affiliates SDN Insurance, Courier Capital and HNP Capital."
