Giving Back to the Communities We Serve

At Border Bank, we are deeply committed to giving back to the communities our customers and team members cherish and call home. It’s not just part of our culture, it’s a responsibility we take to heart. Across our ten markets, our team members volunteer on average 5,000 hours each year, contributing their time to food shelves, shelters, humane societies, veterans’ programs, youth initiatives and school programs.

We are proud to roll up our sleeves and work alongside our neighbors and friends. Beyond volunteering, Border Bank contributes an average of $250,000.00 annually to strengthen our communities, in addition to the nearly $20,000.00 in scholarships to support high school seniors in pursuing their dreams.

Contributing time and financial resources is a privilege – and the right thing to do.
