Centinel Bank opened its doors on March 1, 1969.
History
The CBT scholarships are awarded each year to high school seniors in Taos County. As firm believers in giving back to the community and investing in youth, the ownership of the bank started this program in the mid-1980’s. Since then the program has grown significantly.
