What We Do
Founded in 1973, Alpine Bank is an independent, employee-owned organization with headquarters in Glenwood Springs and banking offices across Colorado’s Western Slope, mountains, and Front Range. 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. Alpine Bank has a five-star rating — meaning it has earned a superior performance classification — from BauerFinancial, an independent organization that analyzes and rates the performance of financial institutions in the United States. Alpine Banks of Colorado, the holding company for Alpine Bank, member FDIC, also trades shares of the Class B Nonvoting Common Stock under the symbol “ALPIB" on the OTCQX® Best Market.
