Our drive-thru remains open normal hours, however, our lobby access is currently by appointment only. Charlotte State Bank & Trust was established in 1987 in Port Charlotte, Florida. Today, Charlotte State Bank & Trust is part of a four-bank holding company with total assets of more than $1.5 billion. In addition to Charlotte State Bank & Trust, Crews Banking Corporation owns Crews Bank & Trust, Englewood Bank & Trust and Wauchula State Bank. Each bank has its own president and decisions are made locally in each of these markets.
