Celebrating 120 Years of Community Commitment: The Altabank Legacy
6/24/25 | Kinsey Love, Digital Marketing Manager
This year marks the120th anniversary for Altabank. Since 1905, we’ve proudly served the people and businesses of Utah, growing alongside the communities that have helped shape who we are today.
A Legacy Rooted in Utah
Altabank’s journey began in Lewiston, Utah, during a time of penny candy, model T’s, and typewriters. Lewiston State Bank opened its doors in 1905 with a mission to support local families and businesses. Just a few years later, in 1913, the Bank of American Fork was founded and began building a legacy of customer service and community support.
Over time, these institutions, along with Town and Country Bank, came together to create a full-service community bank with deep roots in Utah. Today, as a division of Glacier Bancorp, Altabank is proud to be the largest community bank in Utah, with 25 branch locations serving communities from Preston, Idaho to St. George, Utah.
Growing With You
The world has changed dramatically since 1905, and Altabank has adapted to meet the changing needs of our customers. From paper ledgers to mobile apps, we have continuously modernized our services to support individuals and businesses at every stage of life. Whether you are opening your first checking account, building your savings, or launching a new business, Altabank is here to help you reach your financial goals.
Community at the Core
Altabank has always believed that strong communities are the foundation of a better future. For more than a century, we have prioritized giving back. Our support extends to mental health programs, domestic violence prevention, affordable housing, and financial literacy initiatives.
We are proud to contribute to organizations such as CAPSA, the Dove Center, the Children’s Justice Center, the William A. Burnard Warming Center, local food banks, and many others. Whether through financial donations, volunteer work, or partnerships, we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
Investing in a Better Tomorrow
Our mission goes beyond traditional banking. As a community partner, Altabank is dedicated to helping individuals and families thrive by reinvesting in the places where we live and work. We understand that our success is directly connected to the well-being of our neighbors, and we are focused on building healthier and more resilient communities.
