The Bank of Tampa

About The Bank of Tampa

With assets totaling more than $3 billion, The Bank of Tampa is one of the largest community banks in the Tampa Bay area. For more than four decades, they have developed quality relationships that are personal and accessible, and aim to deliver a client experience like no other. Since The Bank of Tampa’s inception in 1984, it has been privately owned by its staff, directors, and clients.

The Bank of Tampa was built with the foundation of a commercial bank, but over the years, they have strived to diversify their portfolio to reach many different industries and professionals. They offer commercial banking—which includes middle market, commercial real estate, SBA lending, and treasury services—personal banking, wealth management, and trust services—truly making them a full-service community bank.

“St. Pete is a special place; it’s a blend of board rooms and beaches that lends itself to a vibrant business environment with a fun and relaxed vibe.”

Pinellas County Market President
