Directors
Carolina Trust Bank was started by community leaders who saw a need for local bankers to serve local needs. True community banking with individual attention to our customers and their needs is why Carolina Trust Bank exists.
Our directors are involved in every part of community life. They serve in churches and civic organizations. Their professional experiences span retail, manufacturing, medical services, banking, education, food services, insurance and investments, public service, finance, pharmaceuticals, accounting, real estate and the law. They reflect our community and make Carolina Trust a true community bank.
