As the largest locally owned community bank on the Central Coast, Montecito Bank & Trust remains committed to our founding principle: to make the communities we serve better places to live and work. On March 17, 1975, a group of local businessmen started the Bank of Montecito with a singular vision – building a local bank committed to serving the needs of the community. What they sought to build then is what drives us to this day and will continue to guide us into tomorrow. In 1996 the Trust Department was founded. We are the only Trust Company headquartered on the Central Coast of California with the region’s largest and most experienced fiduciary trust administration team. Our team is well-versed in all areas of Estate and Trust Administration. We offer Trust Administration, Executor Services, Real Property Management, Asset Transfer and Tax Reporting Services.
