CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

We can’t thank Erik Barnes and Owen Straub from Cypress Bank & Trust enough for everything they did to help us make this important deal a reality. From the very first moment they got involved, they were more than just bankers, they became true partners and friends in the process. They took the time to understand what we needed and went out of their way to find solutions that worked for us. Their constant support, encouragement, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and exciting.

I’ve seen firsthand the transformation in our financial stability, from paying off debt to launching plans for major expansion. Transitioning our investment accounts to Theo Perry with Cypress was a unanimous decision, and it’s been the right one.

Chris Mazzarella, Owner of Mazzarella Automotive

Implementing Positive Pay at no extra cost was a huge relief, eliminating our risk of check fraud. One of my biggest frustrations was having to go to the bank to send wires, but now I can do it all online with just a quick callback for verification.

If there’s ever a problem, I know I can call and reach someone right away. The concierge-level service Cypress provides is hard to find in any industry. They give us access and support exactly when we need it.

Ken Thompson, Senior Trust Executive, Senior Vice President

I joined Cypress because it was a breath of fresh air. A company focused on the client. It was an opportunity to join a firm and take advantage of the dislocation happening in the “megabank” world.

John George

After 35 years in the trust investment business, John George was ready to retire. Then came a call from a former colleague who had joined Cypress. He decided to give it a try, and never looked back. What was meant to be retirement turned into 15 years of meaningful work and confidence that his clients were in capable hands.

My recommendation is simple: Cypress is big enough to provide the resources needed to address your financial needs, but small enough to genuinely care about you as more than just a client.
