About Jourdanton

PROUD OF OUR PAST...
CONFIDENT OF OUR FUTURE

THE JOURDANTON STATE BANK was established in February, 1942 with $25,000 in capital, $375,000 in assets and 250 shares of stock to satisfy the need of a home owned independent bank dedicated to serving the local community.

Commitment to standards of integrity, capital strength, technological advancement and most importantly customer satisfaction has enabled the bank to enjoy prosperity and growth for over half a century. Although located in a small rural community this steady growth has required the bank to upgrade and double their bank facility three times. In May, 1979 the current JOURDANTON STATE BANK building of 11,763 sq. ft. was completed with accommodations for future growth and expansion. The present site has seen the addition of three new offices, two more drive-in lanes and an ATM.

The opportunity to expand into a market beyond the confines of its rural environment was realized with the acquisition of the First American Bank in San Antonio. On June 9, 1989 JOURDANTON STATE BANK's First American Branch was acquired with assets of $14,000,000. A three story glass office building was purchased on November 23, 1989. Thirty five days later the First American Branch moved into 4,500 sq. ft. of ground floor space and the new JSB building opened its doors for business on January 2, 1990. Situated high on a hill overlooking San Antonio to the south and the Texas hill country to the north, the JSB Building with 32,000 sq. ft. of prime quality office space is 100% occupied.

True to its motto 'Growing to Serve You Better', THE JOURDANTON STATE BANK opened its second branch in November, 1997 next to San Antonio's new Quarry Market Mall. The Lincoln Heights Branch occupies half of the 6,000 sq. ft. building and offers 3,000 sq. ft. of rental space. The building and the bank interior feature Texas hill country decor.

The newest addition to the Jourdanton State Bank family of branches is the Pearsall branch in Pearsall, Texas which opened May 3, 1999.

Over the years, THE JOURDANTON STATE BANK has been rated in the top percentile of all banks in Texas as well as the nation. It consistently receives a Five Star rating from Bauer Financial Reports and Veribanc's Blue Ribbon award and is listed in Sheshunoff's Book of Best Banks. In 1991 it was designated a Fortress Bank of Texas by Texas Independent Banker's magazine.

Chairman of the Board, President and CEO Jerome W. Schuchart says, "Although our history is rich in accomplishments and awards, we will never rest on our laurels. We look forward to meeting the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century with the same conservative philosophy, optimism and enthusiasm that has served us so well in the past. I invite you to visit any of our offices...you will be greeted warmly and treated as the valued and special person you are."
