About Us

Enjoy the Journey with VNBT. 

Vista National Bank & Trust has changed its name to Ventura National Bank & Trust, and we will continue to be known as VNBT

Ventura, meaning good luck or good fortune, represents forward momentum and the opportunities that emerge when preparation meets possibility. It reflects how we serve our clients every day, through customized solutions, comprehensive products, streamlined tools, and a concierge approach designed to optimize at every step. Ventura is a clear path forward.

We are the same bank, with the same leadership and client-focused service. Our team provides a customized approach to trust and estate planning, private banking, lending, and small business financial services, all supported by secure, modern digital banking. 

We’re grateful to be on this journey with you, and to help you make the most of the good fortune that lies ahead.


Where We're Coming From.

Ventura National Bank & Trust helps successful entrepreneurs, families, and business owners map out a path to secure their legacy, simplify complexity, identify the right opportunities, and enjoy life along the way.

Founded in 1920 as The First National Bank of Harveyville, Ventura National Bank & Trust has weathered a century of economic change. As the sole bank in Harveyville to survive the stock market crash of 1929, our bank was built on a foundation of trust and hard work. We continue to honor that heritage through enduring and personalized relationships with our clients.
