The year was 1907, when Farmers State Bank first opened their doors in the busting community of Victor Montana ready to service the residents’ banking needs. Fast forward to 2023 and the 5th generation ownership still prides themselves on working closely with community members to achieve success in business and personal banking. From loans to deposit products to our newly introduced credit cards we are there to help you achieve your personal and business banking goals. We are excited to open our 10th full-service branch right in Midtown Missoula! From Kalispell to Helena all the way down to Darby, we’ve got you covered. We are so excited to partner on this mixer with The Child Development Center in Missoula. All Children deserve the opportunity to develop to their full potential. The Child Development Center is a nonprofit that provides family-focused support services to children with developmental delays and disabilities in Western Montana. They partner with families to support developmental needs of children where they live, play and grow. Please come celebrate the opening of our new branch and all the good work the Child Development Center brings to Missoula.

First Security Bank first opened its doors in downtown Missoula in 1972. Quickly growing to a family of seven full-service branch locations, we also established full-service locations in the nearby communities of Corvallis, Hamilton, Plains, Thompson Falls and, Stevensville.

First Security Bank offers a full-range of banking products and services providing individuals and businesses with the help necessary to achieve their financial goals, today and throughout their lives.

We operate our own management teams in the towns we know well, because we live here too! We value being an integral part of our many communities and are proud to serve friends, neighbors and local businesses not only with superior banking products and services, but with considerable investments of our own time and effort to help non-profit and community organizations wherever we are. In fact, we support more than 400 local community organizations every year. 

In 1996 we joined the Glacier Family of Banks, owned by Kalispell, Montana-based Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (GBCI). Glacier Bank is a regional bank providing world-class financial services to individuals and businesses throughout the Western United States. This has enabled us to serve our local communities with the same unique personal attention and friendly service our customers have come to expect, with the added resources of our much larger banking family.

We proudly serve the communities of Missoula, Hamilton, Corvallis, Stevensville, Lolo, Thompson Falls and Plains Montana.

Congratulations to Ellen Buchanan, winner of the second annual “Townie of the Year” Award!
The award, co-presented by Farmers State Bank and Jackson Contractor Group, recognizes a Missoulian who exemplifies the mission of the Association through their commitment to maintaining a healthy business community and enhancing the quality of life and quality of place for visitors and residents alike.
