Nearly 20 years ago, a group of like-minded banks formed in several Central Florida communities. Our Executive Chairman, Ernie Pinner, formed a bank holding company, brought these banks together in 2000, and in doing so, solidified our central tenants of culture, growth, acquisition, customer service, and a healthy respect for risk. Fast forward to 2019 – strong organic growth and almost 30 acquisitions later, CenterState Bank is now in the 75th largest bank in the U.S. covering Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Our size allows us to offer world-class products while our DNA makes us laser-focused on providing local decision making to support a remarkable experience for our customers.
