Amarillo National Bank (ANB) is the largest financial institution serving the city of Amarillo, Texas, and is one of the largest family-owned banks in the United States.
ANB was founded in 1892 (five years after the founding of the city) and was purchased by Benjamin Taliaferro (B.T.) Ware in 1909. The Ware family has managed ANB for over 115 years and in its fourth generation, a rare feat in Texas where many banks have been purchased by out-of-state owners.
As of the third quarter of 2008, ANB reports having $2.6 billion in assets. ANB claims to have the most deposits of any financial institution in Amarillo since 1987, a major accomplishment considering that ANB competes with several out-of-state bank companies. According to Ag Lender magazine, ANB is Texas' largest independent cattle lender.
ANB operates 16 branch locations and over 75 automated teller machines (three of which can accept deposits; ANB claims to have operated Texas' first ATM in 1978) throughout Amarillo and the nearby cities of Borger and Canyon. ANB also delivers bank statements via e-mail, internet banking, and bank by telephone services.
During the Christmas holiday, ANB gives each of its employees a $100 check to deliver to any charity of the employee's choice, with the request that the employee personally deliver said check to the charity.
