Alpine Bank employs more than 800 people and serves 170,000 customers with personal, business, wealth management*, mortgage, and online banking services. Our customers tell us doing business with employees who actually own the bank makes all the difference. They cite our friendly service, flexibility in creating tailored solutions, timely local decision-making, and long-term customer commitment which can often spans decades. At Alpine Bank we believe that strengthening our communities is more than good business, it is our business. That’s why Alpine employees receive 24 hours of paid volunteer time each year, and through our innovative Loyalty Debit Card program, with every customer transaction Alpine Bank (not our customers) donates 10 cents to support nonprofits and charities in Colorado. In 2023, the bank gave $2.35 million to community causes through this channel.
