The First Western Way
The First Western Way is how we’ve always approached our business – with the service and personal attention that consistently leads to delighted customers and long-term banking relationships.
It’s listening more than you talk and treating people fairly. It’s saying no to doubters and yes to dreamers. It’s faith-based and family first. It’s climbing higher than you’ve ever been and going further than you thought you could. It’s not always the easy way, but for us, it’s the only way.
Core Values:
A Christian work attitude and a reputation of integrity, honesty and professionalism.
A cooperative team spirit and a working environment which focuses on producing superior organizational performance.
Maintain a leadership role in the communities we serve.
