FRAUD ALERT: Bank imposter scams are on the rise. Banks will NEVER unexpectedly call customers asking for account numbers, passwords, PINs, or login codes.

Community Engagement

We’re from here, so supporting our neighbors is only natural.

Proud to Live, Work and Serve Locally

Stellar is the largest community bank based in this part of Texas. We’re proud of that. But even if we were smaller, we’d still be enormously committed to supporting our communities. The people here are our families, friends, coworkers and neighbors. It is our responsibility and our passion to help advance the wellbeing and prosperity of everyone around us, through investments, volunteerism, donations, education, events, advocacy and more.

The Impact of True Community Banking

Investing in Our Community

Our purpose is to empower people to thrive. Of course that means helping our customers reach their financial goals, but it goes deeper. We’re focused on supporting the local economy in every way. When we provide loans to businesses and individuals, the money starts and stays within the community, where it fuels prosperity and growth.

Volunteering in Our Community

The way we see it, a banker’s job is to elevate people, businesses and communities. For us that’s often done by donating our hours as much as our money. Our people volunteer regularly in many ways, from supporting local food banks to teaching financial literacy to serving on non-profit boards.

Â鶹Éç is committed to building and developing our communities. We continually evaluate the credit needs of those we serve and develop products and services to meet them.

Leading the Next Generation of Bankers

In 2021, we partnered with Texas Southern University to launch The Future Bankers Â鶹Éç Program in the Jesse H. Jones School of Business. The program gives students direct exposure to commercial banking through a formal curriculum, interaction with executives and industry mentors and commercial banking internships. Our vision is to develop future bankers, enhance diversity in our industry and advance commercial lending in Houston.
