Committed to a Culture of Belonging

We believe businesses can be a catalyst for change and it is our shared responsibility to build a strong foundation of understanding, acceptance and equity. We remain focused on the economic development of our region and on serving minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses. We also support many nonprofit organizations dedicated to the success of under-resourced and vulnerable populations.

At Five Star Bank, a belonging culture is important to us. We are committed to elevating the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion for our business and aligning intention with perception to create a connected workforce. We work to build a more inclusive workplace through education and training and we are proud of the work we have accomplished. There is more to be done. 

We also actively engage with and support community partners so that, together, we can make the greatest impact.
