Purpose
As a community bank, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Co. takes pride in its commitments to many economic, cultural, and civic organizations around Southeast Louisiana. Each year, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Co. offers a major fundraising event, Auctions in August, for local and national organizations, schools, churches and community groups.
Gulf Coast’s philosophy remains people-oriented. We help our customers get what they want, one on one. Banking today is more complicated, but that doesn’t mean it has to be an ordeal. We work with our customers individually to match our services to their needs. We make banking easy and secure for our customers by providing straight talk instead of the old run-around. This is the secret of our continued success.

Values
- We hang money out to dry, but not our clients.
- Following Hurricane Katrina, a handful of our team members took the extraordinary steps to physically hand-wash cash from flooded vaults and safety deposit boxes. The weather-worn bills were then hung out to dry in order to save them.
We believe our culture starts with leadership and our leaders will be the first to tell you that every decision, large or small, should be made based on what’s best for the client. Our clients include people who bank with us, our colleagues, and our communities and we are constantly striving to be above-and-beyond servant leaders to all.
We do what’s right for our clients and we look for ways to go above and beyond even if it’s hard or a little muddy.
