About Us

Sterling Bank & Trust, FSB, was founded in 1984 with the idea of providing simple banking solutions to the community we serve. In 1990, expansion led to the development of the commercial real estate lending division and in 1993, the Bank became known as Sterling Bank and Trust, FSB, with the addition of the Trust division. Sterling’s headquarters and main office are located in Southfield, Michigan. Today, Sterling has 28 branches with locations throughout California, as well as one location in Michigan and New York. With over $3 billion in assets, the bank continues to innovate.

The Sterling team believes we all have a significant role to play in helping our communities succeed and are always on the ready to assist when needed. Whether sponsoring an organization, an event or volunteering as educators for financial literacy, community support is at the heart of everything we stand for. Our goal is to educate the next generation with better financial habits so that their future is built on sturdier ground for a brighter future.

We continue serve our customers and the communities in these four markets across the country, creating an experience sensitive to the needs of every customer, helping them succeed in achieving their own goals at their own pace.
