What is bank and trust?
A bank and trust company is a full-service financial institution that combines traditional commercial banking services—such as checking accounts, savings deposits, and commercial loans—with authorized trust and fiduciary powers. These institutions are legally permitted to act as executors of estates, manage investment portfolios, administer retirement accounts, and provide comprehensive wealth management and estate planning services for individual, corporate, and institutional clients under specialized state or federal banking charters.
