Our Commitment to Community
We believe that Montecito Bank & Trust and the communities we serve are two halves
of the same whole. We’ve prospered as a locally owned bank for over thirty years
because of the loyalty and support of our community. We, in turn, have an enduring
commitment to maintaining the strength and vitality of the communities where we
live.
We put this commitment into action every day. Our philanthropic efforts include
the well-known
Community Dividends®
program which contributes $1 million annually
to over a hundred nonprofit organizations in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
In addition, our Associates celebrate the Bank’s anniversary each year by personally
selecting ten outstanding nonprofits to receive Montecito Bank & Trust’s prestigious
Anniversary GrantsSM.
But monetary contributions are only part of the story. Our
Associates contribute generously of their personal time and talents as local volunteers.
And we help local organizations prosper by providing them with valuable financial
tools – banking services and special benefits designed specifically for nonprofits.
We feel privileged to be able to share our success. And especially to provide our
customers the opportunity to help others simply by banking with Montecito Bank &
Trust.
