Gulf Coast Bank Announces Record Growth

GulfcoastbanktrustsquareNEW ORLEANS – From Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company:

Gulf Coast President and CEO Guy T. Williams has announced record growth for year ended Dec. 31, 2021. Williams attributed the record growth to, among other things, very strong results in home mortgage lending and education services.  The bank is one of the largest home loan originators in South Louisiana and the largest lender to first time homebuyers in the New Orleans metro area.  

In a very difficult year, the bank and our community faced the challenges of COVID-19, inflation, and Hurricane Ida recovery.  The bank helped retail customers with rebuilding and receiving hurricane deductible loans. For business customers, the bank was one of the leading payroll protection lenders and the largest provider of Small Business Association loans in Louisiana.
