Five Star expands food and agribusiness vertical

Five Star (FSBC) Bancorp has expanded its food and agribusiness vertical to serve clients nationwide. The vertical, now called Food, Agribusiness & Diversified Industries, will include increased support of clients in production agriculture, wholesale distribution and retail, manufacturing, food processing, and food distribution services. An initial team of three seasoned professionals will be led by Five Star Bank’s Senior Vice President and Group Managing Director, Cliff Cooper, who has over 35 years of banking expertise in food and agribusiness. “Five Star Bank understands and appreciates the significance and value of those who bring food to our tables, from farmers, ranchers, and growers to food processors, manufacturers, packers, shippers and distributors,” said Cooper. “Five Star Bank knows the cyclical nature of food and agriculture and helps clients navigate commodities and economic cycles. For me, there is no greater purpose than ensuring those who feed our nation are provided with the most exceptional banking services available – services built on trust, partnership and shared values. They will have all of this and more at Five Star Bank.”
