Company Overview

Walk in to your local Banner Bank branch or loan office and you'll notice this isn't like other, bigger banks. This is your neighborhood bank, with bankers that care about knowing your name and helping you find financial success.


At Banner, we 'Do the right thing.'

Our motto, 'Do the right thing,' is much more than a slogan at Banner Bank. It's truly what we expect of our employees and one another as colleagues.

More than 130 years ago, we started with core values that will never go out of style: listen, learn and help people and businesses reach their goals.
Our team of experts focuses completely on you, providing the tailored solutions, expert guidance and local decision-making you need to succeed. Our focus on offering outstanding value along with our financial strength and stability are key reasons Forbes named us one of the World's Best Banks in 2020 and 2021, as well as one of the 100 Best Banks in America, 2017-2021. It is also why Bauer Financial has repeatedly assigned Banner its top, five-star rating.

Of equal importance is the community spirit upon which Banner Bank was founded as a small thrift in 1890. With more than $16 billion in assets and locations throughout Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho, we understand our role in the economic ecosystem and we take that responsibility seriously. In addition to being a source of capital to personal banking clients and businesses of all sizes, we place a high importance on contributing to the communities we serve. Last year we engaged with more than 1,000 charitable and community causes across our footprint by contributing more than $3.5 million and volunteering thousands of hours.

From thoughtfully designed personal banking services to full-service, leading-edge commercial banking solutions, we’re proud to earn your business and help you dream big and achieve more.


What we believe, and why

Our vision drives us. And it’s simple: We want to be the best provider of financial services in the West.

We also live by a set of core values. It guides all we do.
