History
Founders of First American State Bank charted the bank on July 10, 1995, as a “de novo” bank, which means that the bank started right here in Colorado and is a truly independent bank. The majority of owners live and work in Colorado; in fact, all of our Executive Officers are shareholders – so all have a vested interest in surpassing our customer’s expectations.

First American State Bank is one of the highest rated banks by our regulatory agencies: the Federal Reserve System and the Colorado State Banking Commission. Officers of the bank have well over 100 years combined banking experience. Our asset quality is exemplary – we base our profits on returning fair value to our customers, not by charging for every little action as do larger banks. Our customers are further impressed with the high quality of care and professionalism the bank’s employees put into every transaction.

We have grown the bank substantially since 1995 and have done so with care in order to build a very long-term asset. While many new banks today have their exit-strategies, we intend to create a legacy that will be here working for our customers for the next 100 years.
