About Us

Taking a chance. That's what every business owner does in the beginning. They take a concept, nurture it and shape it into something that has value for others. And where there's value, there is also a need to secure it, grow it and leverage it--there's a need for a bank whose sole mission is to serve the people who make business happen. That's AmericanWest Bank.

As a business-focused community bank, we take a hands-on approach. We don't expect you to know every product and service available in banking--that's our job. We get to know you, including understanding your short and long-term goals, and only then do we tailor lending, depository and treasury management products to suit your individual needs.

Whether it's for you or your business, we have you covered with a robust suite of products and services, all delivered with a high-touch, community banking spirit. Plus, our excellent capital ratios and strong liquidity position afford us the opportunity to be actively lending in every market we serve.

We exist to serve business owners as well as their employees and families--those who put their heart and soul into their life's work and just happen to build a stronger America along the way.
