At Cypress Bank & Trust, we’re honored to grow alongside our clients, from the first idea to the next chapter. For more than 14 years, Cypress has helped a restaurant business that started as a concept and grew into a success. When the owner was approached with an offer to buy the entire concept, he wasn’t sure who to call or what to do next. As Maria Rodammer, Executive Vice President and Senior Lending Officer at Cypress Bank & Trust, shares, she brought together Cypress trust administrators, portfolio managers, and a certified financial planner to build a roadmap centered on what mattered most to him: his legacy, his children, and taking care of his wife. He completed the sale with a plan in place, and later named Cypress as corporate trustee. It’s not just a business cycle, it’s a life cycle. This is The Cypress Way: rooted in relationships.
