Since 1926 Seacoast Bank has helped people improve their lives and build their communities. The Stuart community was without a bank for several years. The Florida land crash of 1924 had wiped out most of the banks. Credit was almost non-existent; payments took place by barter. Several people approached Dennis Hudson and asked him to move his bank to Stuart. Today their offices stretch from Broward County throughout the Treasure Coast into Orlando and west to Tampa and surrounding counties.
