Banner Bank

Banner Bank is a full-service bank serving the western United States, with locations in Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho. Its mailing address is in Walla Walla, Washington. The company has more than $16 billion in assets and aims to pair the individual service of a community bank with products that some customers might expect only from a nationwide institution. It is an FDIC member, so customer deposits are federally insured up to the standard limits.

Banner Bank's services span personal banking, home loans, business and commercial banking, commercial real estate, wealth and investments, online and mobile banking, and rewards credit cards. Business clients can also use SBA loans, merchant services, international wires and SpendTrack card management. The company serves personal clients and businesses of all sizes and emphasises local decision making, an approach community and regional banks often use to compete with larger national lenders.

Banner Bank was founded in 1890 as a small thrift, a type of savings institution historically focused on gathering local deposits and making home loans. The company sums up the core values it started with as listen, learn and help people and businesses reach their goals. Its motto, 'Do the right thing,' sits alongside stated values of honesty and integrity, mutual respect, quality, trust, teamwork and accountability. Community involvement is part of its mission, and in a single year the company engaged with nearly 1,000 charitable and community causes, contributing nearly $2 million and thousands of volunteer hours. When reviewing funding requests, it prioritises organisations that provide shelter or housing or that support small business development.
