Wauchula State Bank

Enjoy the consistency and confidentiality of partnering with a privately-owned bank that has been serving Central Florida for more than 90 years. With our newest Lakeland loan office, we continue to grow our vision by making banking easy, secure and convenient for customers.

Wauchula State Bank has served the Florida Heartland since 1929 as a family-owned, locally managed community bank. In May 1932, J.W. Crews, Sr. purchased controlling interest in Wauchula State Bank and today the bank is still owned and operated by the Crews Family. Today, Wauchula State Bank is part of a four-bank holding company with total assets of more than $1.5 billion. In addition to Wauchula State Bank, Crews Banking Corporation owns Charlotte State Bank & Trust, Englewood Bank & Trust and Crews Bank & Trust. Each bank has its own president and decisions are made locally in each of these markets. J.W. “Bill” Crews Jr. serves as Chairman for Crews Banking Corporation and Vice Chairman for Wauchula State Bank, with his grandson, J.W. “Jake” Crews IV, serving as CEO of Wauchula State Bank.
