The bank offers a range of services from personal checking and savings, business checking and savings, business lending, SBA lending, mortgage lending, and trust and wealth management services.
Mr. Newgard is an active volunteer with many local and regional non-profits, serving as the Area 5 Committee Chair of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, director with Idaho’s Oldest Rodeo, the War Bonnet Roundup, and as a member of the Special Committee on Cyber Security with Independent Community Bankers of America, to name a few.
