Security State Bank announces Vince Calicchia to oversee expansion

CONROE, Texas -- Security State Bank announced that Vince Calicchia has joined the 88-year old financial institution to expand and manage the bank’s footprint into north Houston, servicing The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, Klein, and Tomball. Vince brings 22 years of community and commercial banking experience along with professional and personal roots established in the area.

Calicchia commented, “More than ever, bank customers demand, expect, and deserve to receive yesterday's high level of personal service accompanied with tomorrow's tools of technology. They want to have a relationship with a banker who is responsive, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and effective. That complete experience is what Security State Bank delivers. And with north Houston poised for unprecedented growth, our team is determined to make a positive difference in the community.”

Bank CEO & President Gary Van Deventer also added, “Vince will initially manage a loan production office in the area, but the plan is to open a traditional banking center in the near future. We are already studying sites and excited about this opportunity. From there, we will look to add more convenient locations to serve our customers on the north side of Houston.”
