Astra Bank is proud to be a part of the communities in which they serve. ”My grandfather, G. Walter Boyles, had a philosophy that was shaped by the onset of a severe banking crisis shortly after he began his banking career in 1929. He saw the devastating impact that operating a bank in an unsafe manner could have on the bank’s customers and communities. His philosophy of a safe and sound bank that helps its customers and communities fulfill their dreams continues in Astra Bank almost a century later,” stated Kyle Campbell, Astra Bank President & CEO.
