They had a history of quality service and community focus. The group of bankers came together around the belief that local ownership and local management would translate into a better bank. Through their vision and investment, a bank was born. CenterState’s core values–local market driven, long term horizon, world class service, relationship banking, faith and family–inspire how the bank operates as a company.
