Community Giving

Ever since we began in 1928, Security Bank has been creating meaningful relationships and supporting area residents' needs. We focus on creating solutions that help our community thrive. Our community support doesn't end there. Bank employees lead by example by diligently volunteering their time and skills to a wide range of nonprofit organizations. From serving on school boards to the American Cancer Center, our bank family is tightly knit with communities, residents and businesses.

Security Bank is honored to have our President and CEO, Jim Smitherman, named 2011 Midland Family of the Year by The Samaritan Counseling Center. Gregg McDonald, Odessa Market President, notably received the 2012 Victoria Lozano Award- Family of the Year.

Charitable Giving

In the past several years alone Security Bank has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless volunteer hours to charitable organizations in Texas. In addition to numerous others, Security makes major contributions to:

Each year, Security branches raise thousands at the local branches, and employees volunteer their time answering calls at the phone bank during each telethon.
