Our Core Values:
Austin Capital Bank’s Core Values are embodied in the concept of Two Complimentary Cultures, but One Team. This concept acknowledges that employees of the two segments of the company may differ in work and life experiences, and skill sets, but the following beliefs and behaviors are universal:

• Our Hygiene Factors: honesty with each other, confidentiality as it pertains to customer data and IP, and a high degree of skill and intelligence in the relevant field of authority and operation.
• Innovation and Continuous Improvement: an understanding that not everyone is the CEO, but everyone needs to have a CEO-mindset. In whatever task(s) we are performing, we think beyond fulfillment of the task(s), i.e., why, how, what’s next, is there a better way, etc.
• Excellence: we hire talented, highly skilled employees. We achieve the maximum level of excellence in product development, operational support, customer service, risk management and financial performance.
• Collaboration: we operate with a high degree of interdependence. We share collective goals and are accountable for our individual and collective performance. We understand that our life and work experiences likely differ. We respect and applaud those differences and achieve our goals as two complimentary cultures, but one team.

If you’re someone who is always ready to take initiative and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, you’ll fit right in. We're big on humility here, cherishing honesty, and embracing emotional intelligence and self-awareness. At Austin Capital Bank, we're all about amplifying teamwork and basking in shared victories.
