Helping our community

Amarillo National Bank believes very strongly in helping our neighbors. In fact, through our "Thanks a Million" campaign, we make annual contributions of more than $1 million to Amarillo charities and organizations. During the Christmas holidays, each employee is given the option to donate $100 in bank funds to the charity of their choice — all we ask is that the money is delivered in person. Over the last eight years, the "Thanks a Million" campaign has resulted in over $9 million in funding for local causes.

However, there is more to life than money! We are proud to give with our hands and our HEARTS. ANB employees continue to give over ten thousand hours of community service year after year. We are thrilled to be invested in such an outstanding community. Our employees act as board members, committee members, leaders and volunteers. In 2009, ANB employees were active in over 170 different organizations throughout Amarillo and Borger. It is important to us to be connected with our friends and neighbors.  Afterall, we are the Heart of Amarillo! If you would like to request funds for a donation, please click here.

Amarillo National Bank is also invested in the financial education for citizens of Amarillo and Borger. We provide free classes and information to all ages and groups. For several years, we have participated in the national Teach Children to Save Campaign and Get Smart About Credit, both which involve education for students from elementary to high school. ANB employees also provide financial education for clients of non-profit organizations or anyone who requests this service. For further information, please contact Lizzie Mason at 806-378-8168.

Our employees’ strong commitment to community development services — especially those addressing the needs of low- to moderate-income individuals —has earned the praise of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, our primary regulator. This office periodically evaluates banks on how well they meet the needs of our entire community, in what’s known as a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Performance Evaluation. On our 2005 CRA exam, Amarillo National Bank was rated "Outstanding", due mainly to the tireless efforts of our employees.
