Better Banking Since 1886
High Country Bank started in 1886 in the heart of Colorado with one goal – helping the local community thrive. Fast-forward 140 years, and our mission is the same. With every interaction, you can be confident you’ll get a person you know and a bank you trust. Join a bank where decisions are made locally, personal service is a priority, and community commitment is strong. With branches in Buena Vista, Cañon City, Longmont and Salida, we offer the same services you’ve come to expect from your bank; fraud prevention tools, easy-to-use mobile banking, and we even have account options with no monthly fees and no balance requirements.
FUND YOUR DREAMS
Whether you’re buying or building a new home, need some cash to fund a renovation or just want to look at home financing options, we can help. Explore loan types, estimate your payments with our financial calculators, and meet the mortgage team. A mortgage loan officer will walk you through the process from application to closing.

The quality of grapes have a huge impact on the quality of our wine. High Country Bank helps us secure the grapes we need to keep our production running smoothly. Over the years they’ve been right by our side as we’ve grown and allowed us to take the opportunities to expand our business and offerings.

High Country Bank believes in community investment. They use local dollars to give back to our towns. They are helping us finance The Grove- a preschool which will provide much needed childcare for over 125 families in our community. We couldn’t have done this without their help.

Alex Ewers, Owner
It was important to us to find a bank that aligned with our values and was focused on the local community. When I walk into the bank and the same people are there every time it allows us to have better long-term success because they know our history. That longevity means they know what happening in our company a year ago or five years ago which sets us up for success in the future.

Anna and Evan Winger, Owners
High Country Bank came through for us when we were opening our restaurant. They were the only bank that believed in us. I feel like they are a small-town bank in that they are passionate about the people and the stories behind the businesses. Because of that, they took the time to get to know us and helped us realize our dream of moving to the mountains and opening our business.

High Country Bank was willing to listen to our needs and believed in us and our story to help us achieve the growth we were trying to accomplish. We have more to grow, and we are excited that High Country Bank is a bank that is willing to help us do just that.
