Governance: Board Oversight & Demographics
 
The Company’s directors, in their role of overseeing the sound management of the Company, are responsible for exercising their business judgement in what they believe to be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders, taking into account the interests of the employees, the clients and the community at large, and in so doing manage risk and enhance the long-term value of the Company.

We love working with a bank that shares our commitment to environmental sustainability.

Five Star Bank customer, Selby Soil Erosion Control (SSEC), doesn't just lead the environmental services industry - they helped create it and have been protecting the earth's natural resources for more than 50 years. We thank SSEC for rebuilding, restoring and renewing our region after catastrophic wildfires and for their commitment to environmental sustainability and wildlife protection. 
As a community business bank, helping others in a time of need is critically important to us.
