This recognition — the bank’s fifth year in a row — reflects the company’s strong culture and collaborative environment. The bank said credit for the recognition goes to its employees — its greatest

asset — who anonymously provided their feedback and experiences. The bank congratulates its clients, community partners and friends who also were recognized as Best Places to Work!

The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company and its divisions of The Naples Trust Company and Tampa Bay Trust Company have rebranded as Florida Trust Wealth Management. Formed 25 years ago, the trust company now has offices in Sanibel, Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island, Tampa, Belleair Bluffs and Tarpon Springs, and a marketing office in Cashiers, N.C. The newest office opened in November in downtown St. Petersburg. “Originally, our offices in Sanibel, Naples and Tampa were each named after the towns where they were located, however, growth became a challenge with geographic specific names,” said Chief Executive Officer Terry Igo. “The strategy served us very well in the early years, but as we grew to serve clients beyond the corporate footprint, we knew it was time for a change, and we are thrilled.” “Achieving this milestone speaks to the talent and hard work of our dedicated team members, and the confidence our clients have in this company,” said Al Hanser, Founder and Chairman. “We’ve also been very fortunate to have deep talent and dedication from our local board members who For the fifth consecutive year, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank was named the Best Bank in The News Press’ 2025 Best of the Best Fort Myers Community Choice Awards. The awards celebrate and recognize Southwest Florida businesses in a variety of categories. “It’s an honor to be recognized as the ‘Best Bank in Fort Myers’ by our community,” said Kyle DeCicco, President and CEO of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who go above and beyond every day to serve our customers and support our community.” The bank also was named one of 50 honorees for the 15th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Awards. The prestigious statewide program recognizes dynamic second-stage businesses with six to 150 employees and annual revenue between $750,000 and $100 million that
