Mary started “working” for the Bank when we opened our doors in 2003. Because she had a non-compete agreement with another local bank, she actually worked as a volunteer receptionist at the Bank for an entire year!
Everyone on the island and McGregor/Iona area knew and loved Mary. Mary became an "adoptive grandmother" to many, often babysitting for employees and customers children, becoming the unofficial “Grandma of SanCap Bank.”
Mary retired from the Bank in 2005 at the young age of 81. Unfortunately, our dear Mary passed away in 2009. In her honor our McGregor Boulevard office conference room is named for her always reminding us how much she loved SanCap Bank, its employees and customers.

Like all of Southwest Florida we were heartbroken by the devastation Hurricane Ian caused our community, especially to our beloved island communities. Sanibel and Captiva Islands hold a very special place in our hearts. It’s where our Bank was started, and it’s where we’ve called home for nearly 20 years. As soon as the storm cleared, we started working alongside our Southwest Florida community to recover and restore the vibrancy our area is known for.
Bank staff helped island residents, businesses and recovery workers any way we could.
Immediately after the storm, the Bank ran multiple boat trips per day to Sanibel Island while the causeway was out. These trips gave hope for employees and customers to bring essential tools and supplies to the island and start the rebuilding process.
We’ve processed over $70 million dollars of loan requests directly related to Hurricane Ian. These funds are going directly to local HOA’s, contractors, business owners, and homeowners to help rebuild or community.
We served over 1,500 free lunches in the weeks and months following the storm in our parking lot and delivered meals to those on island who didn’t have any transportation to get to us.
We opened the Main Office two weeks after storm servicing customers in our parking lot.
