Who is Ciera Bank?

Ciera Bank is a long-standing Texas institution that is fully committed to its clients’ success unlike any other. That’s because at Ciera, customers are more than just transactions. They’re the lifeblood of the community.

This idea is core to our philosophy and sits behind every aspect of the client relationship. Progressive, agile, and never backing down from a challenge, Ciera Bank is not just another bank, but valued partner…a friend, a guide, and an agent of progress.

 

Strengthening the community one handshake at a time.

Built on a Solid Foundation

Ciera Bank is a state-chartered, full-service community bank proudly serving Texas since 1890. Headquartered in Graham, just a short drive outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Ciera was created from the merger of three banks owned and operated by First Graham Bancorp, Inc. Since merging, Ciera Bank has come full circle, uniting its branches as one cohesive, effective team with a singular mission.

Ciera Bank provides checking, savings and loans to personal and business clientele alike, with business loan services extending to the Commercial, Real Estate, Healthcare, and Oil & Gas industries. Currently, Ciera operates eight branches, conveniently located in Fort Worth, Denton, Flower Mound, Aubrey, Aledo, Bryson, Burleson, and of course, Graham.

A Passion for Community Service

A community bank without a commitment to the community is just another bank. That’s why at Ciera Bank, we consider it our privilege and responsibility to give back whenever we can. Our dedication to the community shows in our people and is encouraged at each and every branch, whether helping local businesses, varied civic organizations, or any number of charitable groups. We are proud to help enhance the quality of the lives we serve and plan to do so well into the future.
