Greenwood Village, CO – As FirstBank undergoes a merger that will shift its operations and ownership structure, Colorado business owners are facing new uncertainty about the future of their banking relationships. In contrast, First American State Bank (FASB) remains proudly Colorado-owned, relationship-driven, and independent for more than 30 years.
A Personal, Relationship-Driven Approach
Many business owners have voiced frustration with large banks’ impersonal service models, frequent turnover of relationship managers, and reliance on call centers or 800 numbers. At FASB, clients work directly with dedicated bankers, including our President to Chief Lender Officer to wire specialists, ensuring stability, responsiveness, and clarity.
“We are rooted in Colorado,” said Michelle Gruber, Vice President at First American State Bank. “We know your name, not just your account number. For business owners, that means you always know who to call and you will always get a local decision maker who understands your needs.” Gruber added. “Our customers get consistent, trusted advisors who know their business, their goals, and their community.”
A Commitment to Colorado
As a community bank, FASB’s focus extends beyond banking. The bank invests in local causes, including Volunteers of America Colorado and The Village Toy Drive, keeping philanthropy dollars directly in Colorado. FASB’s giving strengthens the same communities it serves.
Built for Business Owners
With tailored solutions for commercial lending, treasury management, and personalized financial services, FASB provides flexibility and hands-on support that large, standardized institutions often can’t match. Business clients benefit from:
• Direct access to decision-makers.
• Custom lending solutions built around individual business needs.
• A concierge-style approach to account transitions.
