Serving Customers & Communities Since 1999


Five Star Bank was founded in 1999 by a group of local entrepreneurs who wanted to create the kind of personalized banking services they desired themselves – services inspired by partnership and defined by shared vision and goals. Today, Five Star Bank is guided by purpose-driven banking, community stewardship, regional and industry expertise, a speed to serve and a commitment to economic development in the communities we serve.

In 2021, Five Star Bank became a public company and is listed on the Nasdaq at FSBC. Click here to visit our Investor Relations page.
