There has been a trend of consolidation in banking in St. Augustine, and, as a result, personal service has become a casualty. That’s why Central Bank, a community bank headquartered in Tampa, has opened a branch in the Northeast Florida market to bring back personal service for individuals and small businesses. Among the major moves by Central Bank was to hire two well-known, experienced, St. Augustine personal bankers to head up the branch. Aaron Kleist, with over 19 years in banking, was selected as the Northeast Florida Market President. Debbie Blackburn, with over 32 years in the industry, was appointed Vice President/Branch Manager. Armed with great CD rates and the ability to work outside the box when it comes to personal service, both Kleist and Blackburn are hard at work identifying and helping those who are not seeing the service they expect from their current bank. As active members of local organizations, such as the St. Johns County Chamber and Rotary, they are both committed to helping customers, who they consider as neighbors and friends.
