About Us
A Message From the President
elcome to a different kind of bank.
Some banks talk about personal service. At Christiana Bank & Trust Company, personal service is our only way of doing business. Our recent merger with National Penn, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Penn Bancshares, Inc., retaining our name and status as a Delaware chartered banking corporation, will not change this.
We were founded by a group of seasoned banking professionals and business leaders. Our philosophy is based on providing superior service and unparalleled accessibility to decision-makers.
Our customers know what it's like to be greeted by name and have immediate access to the owners of the bank. All of us are experienced bankers and place a high value on knowing our customers and serving their distinctive banking needs.
We are not a conventional bank. We don't have formula loans or even standard applications. We don't have tellers or lines either. You sit down in one of our signature chairs and accomplish your business privately with your personal banker who is empowered to make on-the-spot decisions and who, as a stockholder, has a special interest in providing you with a positive banking experience.
Our trust officers use carefully implemented trust and asset management strategies to assist in the creation and preservation of family wealth. We customize your investment management strategy by first understanding your goals.
Our customers tell us we represent banking the way it should be. They tell us we are a refreshing change from other banks.
We invite you to explore our site. Learn about how we may serve you. If Christiana Bank & Trust Company sounds like your kind of bank, we invite you to join us.
Cordially,
Zissimos A. Frangopoulos
President & CEO
