  The bank is headquartered in two high-rise buildings in downtown Amarillo. The 16-story Amarillo National Bank Plaza One opened in 1971, and the 12-story Amarillo National Bank Plaza Two complex was completed in 1984.
  ANB is known for opening Texas’ first drive-up bank window (1950) and the first automatic teller machine in Texas (1978), which was located in the bank’s downtown lobby. Also in 1978, the bank began construction on what was then the largest drive-up banking facility in the United States, at 10th Avenue and Taylor Street in Amarillo.

  ANB donates more than $2 million a year to local charities. During the holiday season, ANB allows each of its employees to designate a $100 check to any charity of the employee’s choice. In addition, the bank invests heavily in the financial education of Texas residents with its ANB Smart program, and participates in the national Teach Children to Save campaign and the Get Smart About Credit program from the American Bankers Association.
  Amarillo National Bank owns the naming rights to the Amarillo National Center, a 10,000-seat multipurpose arena built in 2000.
