A community bank able to serve its neighbors through the ups and downs of life, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company has spread its services throughout Louisiana, specifically along the I-10 corridor, to take full advantage of the abundance of opportunity to continue to invest in the Northshore.
“Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, and St. Tammany Parish as a whole are having a great run of economic success,” says Slade Simons, President of Gulf Coast Bank & Trust. “There has been over $200 million of capital investment recently announced, and with that comes hundreds of new jobs, new housing starts, healthy businesses, and a thriving way of life for its citizens. As a community bank, we are so grateful to be a part of the everyday lives of our customers and the success that our community is experiencing.”
The work of building community starts at home, and Gulf Coast Bank & Trust understands its place as a regional leader not only in business and personal banking but in philanthropy as well.
“I have been employed at Gulf Coast Bank as a commercial lender for the past 24 years,” says Rance Mangipano, Senior Vice President, Commercial & Investment Residential Lending. “We are very active in
the community, helping many people achieve their dreams and goals. Our ability to make local decisions has been critical to our success as well as our customers.”
By raising funds and awareness for nonprofits through its Auctions in August program, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust has been able to raise nearly $1.7 million, with 100% of proceeds going directly to participating organizations.
“As a community banker, involvement isn’t optional; it’s foundational,” says Jennifer Carter, VP, Branch Manager. “Serving on nonprofit boards and supporting fundraising events allows me to invest not only financial resources, but leadership relationships, and trust into the communities we serve. Strong Banks are built alongside strong communities.”
