Banking you can trust

At The Bank of Commerce, we believe that trust is the cornerstone of any successful banking relationship. For over 65 years, we have been proudly serving the people of east Idaho and southwest Montana, building a legacy of integrity, personalized service, and deep community roots. As the banking landscape changes, we remain committed to being a financial partner you can depend on.

Recent news about the sale of another local bank was a surprise. Change can be unsettling, but it also presents an opportunity to reassess what you value most in a banking partner. Here are a few key factors to consider when choosing a bank:

1. Local commitment

A strong local presence ensures that your bank understands the unique needs of the community it serves. Decisions made locally, rather than in distant corporate offices, often lead to more responsive and tailored solutions for customers. At The Bank of Commerce, we are headquartered right here in e ast Idaho. Our leadership, employees, and branches are part of the communities we serve. We know the challenges and opportunities unique to this region because we live them every day alongside you.

2. Stability and longevity

In times of change, it’s important to choose a bank with a proven track record. Stability and experience mean your financial institution can weather challenges and continue to meet your needs for the long term. Since our founding in 1959, The Bank of Commerce has been a pillar of financial stability in East Idaho and Southwest Montana. Through decades of growth, economic shifts, and technological advancements, we have consistently delivered reliable and secure banking services to generations of families and businesses. We were the No. 1 SBA 504 lender in Idaho in 2024, routinely noted as a Top 100 Ag Bank by the American Bankers Association and have maintained a Five-Star Rating by Bauer Financial, Inc. for many years.

3. Personalized service

Banking isn’t one-size-fits-all. You deserve a bank that takes the time to understand your goals and offers solutions tailored to your needs. At The Bank of Commerce, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service. Our team builds relationships with every customer, offering personalized guidance and support, whether you’re opening your first account, securing a business loan, or in need of customized trust services.

4. Community impact

A bank’s role extends beyond transactions. Look for a financial institution that actively invests in the community through local sponsorships, charitable giving, and support for small businesses. As a community bank, we take our role seriously in the growth and success of the communities we serve. Our dedicated employees contribute thousands of hours of service each year. We proudly partner with local charities, schools and nonprofit organizations to support families in need, improve and provide education, empower positive community initiatives, and invest our time and resources back into the communities we call home.
