Montana Independent Bankers represents community or independent banks that are locally owned, often by multiple generations of the same family, just like other Montana local businesses. While community banks often have more than one branch, they all remain small enough to emphasize the small-town values of frugality, responsibility, quality personal service, and intentional investment of both time and resources back into their local communities.
