Austin Bank – Making a Difference in our Communities
The First National Bank of Jacksonville opened it’s doors October 1st, 1900. Many have contributed to the institution which began as the First National Bank of Jacksonville. Early visionaries wanted to nurture a bank that would grow deep roots in the community and thrive with the passage of time. They realized 100 years ago the need to establish a bank that would provide the financial stability and trust that would in turn contribute to the growth and prosperity of the Jacksonville community.
In 1996, 6 charters combined and the name became Austin Bank.
The original 6 bank charters were:
• First State Bank, Rusk, TX
• First State Bank, Big Sandy, TX
• First State Bank, Timpson, TX
• First National Bank, Jacksonville, TX
• First National Bank, Whitehouse, TX
• Texas National Bank, Longview, TX
