Thirty years of growth begins with strong roots. At Cypress Bank & Trust, those roots are relationships.
This cypress bonsai tree, generously gifted by Stephen Heuston and the Heuston Legal team in honor of our 30th anniversary, serves as a meaningful reminder that lasting growth is built over time. Like the roots of a tree, relationships provide the strength, stability, and support needed to flourish for generations.
As we celebrate this milestone, we`re grateful for the many relationships that have helped Cypress grow over the past 30 years and look forward to continuing that legacy for years to come.

Thirty years is more than a milestone. It`s a reflection of the relationships, trust, and community support that have guided Cypress Bank & Trust since 1996.
Our anniversary celebration brought together clients, shareholders, team members, and community partners to commemorate this special occasion.
Thank you to 28 North Gastropub for helping create an exceptional experience for our guests, and to Groundswell Startups for the incredible custom skateboard featuring our 30-Year Anniversary logo. The gift was both unexpected and meaningful, symbolizing creativity, entrepreneurship, and the strong partnerships that make our community unique.
