Vision and Mission

American Principle Bank was formed by a group of local businesspeople and experienced bank officers who share a common vision. That vision is to create a unique financial institution targeted at building lasting personal relationships with businesses, professionals, real estate investors, family business entities, and residents in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties. These relationships are planned to be developed based upon the bank’s five founding principles of:

• Integrity
• Commitment
• Expertise
• Communication
• Service

The five stars in our logo represent these core values.

The Bank’s mission is to successfully meet the financial needs of our clients, employees, shareholders, and local communities served in a safe and sound manner. We aim to accomplish this mission through a combination of concierge service, client convenience, customized financial solutions, and advanced technology. Our officer team of experienced bankers strongly believes in the importance of being readily accessible to our clients and in offering personalized client service. Our facilities are custom designed, with sit-down service, private conference rooms, and meeting facilities for our clients. Our technology platform includes many advanced features, including cash management and online (scanned) deposit services for businesses.
