Nearly Five Decades of Community Banking

History

In the mid-1970's, a group of Pittsburg businessmen met in the office of the County Judge, Jesse Nickerson III, to discuss the need of establishing a new financial institution that would specialize in providing mortgage financing to the residents of Camp and surrounding counties. From that discussion, the idea of forming Cypress Savings and Loan Association was born.

October 3, 1977

After almost two years of raising capital, filing applications, and attending hearings in Austin, Cypress's insurance of accounts by the FDIC and ability to open was officially approved. Cypress was initially organized as a state chartered stock institution with $500,000 of capital — a very small amount by today's rigid capital requirements.

The Only One of Its Kind in Northeast Texas

Today, Cypress reports over 24 million of Tier 1 capital and is the only remaining savings institution in Northeast Texas which began as a stock chartered institution — a fact of which we are extremely proud. While having undergone several name and charter changes since its organization, the word "Cypress" has always been retained.

Cypress Bank Today

Now operating as Cypress Bank, a State Savings Bank, we have assets in excess of $225 million and offices in four Northeast Texas counties: Camp, Titus, Morris, and Hunt County. Cypress is a major provider of mortgage credit in each of these markets and offers an array of deposit products and services to meet the financial needs of our customers.
