Our Story

Open the door to opportunity

In 1993 the doors of what would become Mountain West Bank officially opened at the corner of Government Way and Ironwood Drive in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Our humble origins, circa 1993

Today, the bank now serves customers from 21 branches conveniently located across the states of Idaho and Washington. Mountain West Bank was founded by local business leaders with the shared vision that community and banking could be one in the same. Since then, Mountain West Bank has been steadfastly dedicated to the mission of providing customers with Legendary Customer Service. We’re big enough to provide the best in banking products and offerings and small enough to provide personal, exceptional service. We proudly offer our customers a full complement of consumer and business products including checking and savings accounts, Certificates of Deposit, IRAs and Money Market Accounts. Our lending services include residential, construction, commercial and consumer products. Making a difference also happens right at our bank. Mountain West Bank, A Division of Glacier Bank, takes pride in supporting the communities and people in which we serve. 

Glacier Bancorp is consistently recognized as one of the top performing banks in the country.

This recognition is a tribute to the employees at Mountain West Bank and throughout Glacier Bancorp. Their passion for community banking is the foundation for our success.
