Company History
GoldStar Trust Company began as Colonial Trust Company, which was incorporated on
August 19th, 1989, in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2004, Colonial Trust Company entered
into negotiations with Happy State Bank of Amarillo, Texas and soon became GoldStar
Trust Company.
Two years later in 2006, GoldStar acquired American Church Trust Company in Houston,
TX and later moved all operations to Canyon, TX in 2007. Since then, GoldStar has
enjoyed enormous gains in the markets we serve as a result of strong leadership
and keen financial foresight.
As a trust-only branch of a Texas Bank, GoldStar’s financial condition is
closely monitored by the Texas Department of Banking and the FDIC.
