President's Message

Hello, and welcome to the Bank of Idaho’s website.  If you are looking at this page, I have no doubt you are considering growing your relationship with us, and for that, I thank you.  I am confident you will find your experience with Bank of Idaho to be different than what you’ll find with our competitors.  I want you to feel at home with us.  Our goal is to help you achieve your financial goals, both personal and business-related. We want to get to know you, to anticipate and meet your needs and continuously work to strengthen our bonds and deepen our understanding of your goals and aspirations. 

For our small business clients, not only do we feel it is our responsibility to know who you are and how your business operates, but we want to help educate and inspire you to accomplish the goals you set for your business. Whether you are looking to triple your current size, preparing to pass the reins over to the next generation, or maintaining the strong following you presently have, we will engage your business and do all we can to ensure you have the proper tools from us to achieve what you aspire to do. We want to be a resource to your success!

My grandfather, and then my dad, owned and operated a service station and oil distribution business in beautiful Montana, not too far from here. I grew up in that business: worked the pumps, swept the floors, and helped sort invoices at the kitchen table each month. My memories of those experiences are what drive me in my role as President & CEO at Bank of Idaho. It’s the reason I, along with the employees at the bank, am committed to seeing your business thrive. We know the commitment it takes to operate a business. And it’s our commitment to offer the best support we can to help you succeed.

Again, I thank you for visiting our site. I hope we have the chance to meet and work together to make the community an even better place to live, work, and play with a little help from BOTH of our businesses.  

Sincerely,

 

Jeff Newgard

Chairman, President, and CEO
