Locally Owned, Family Strong, Here to Stay
Take a look at the leadership history of most banks and you’ll find a jumbled mess, as they've been bought, sold, reorganized, and sold again. Then compare it with the leadership history of Amarillo National Bank, where you’ll see an unbroken family tree. They've never sold out and never intend to.
The Ware family has owned the bank for over 126 years and counting. The bank was founded in 1892 shortly after the city of Amarillo was established. B.T. Ware, a well-known cattleman, merchant banker, and one of the earliest settlers in the Amarillo area purchased the bank in 1909. His descendants have kept the bank in the family ever since.
