Points West Community Bank recognized as top performer by ICBA Independent Banker Magazine

ICBA Independent Banker, the award-winning magazine of the Independent Community Bankers of America and the nation’s number-one source for community banking news, recognized Points West Community Bank as an ICBA Top Performer in its June issue. Points West Community Bank, a locally owned and managed community bank serving areas of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming, has been recognized based on its earnings and operational efficiencies throughout 2013.

“Whether it’s a small community bank serving a rural area or a large community bank serving a metro and suburban area, you’ll find they operate with the same focus by always putting their customers and communities first,” said Chris Lorence, ICBA executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “Points West Community Bank knows their local market and they thrive because of that expertise. We commend Points West Community Bank for its ongoing dedication, enthusiasm and devotion to the banking industry.”

As part of its annual recognition of high-performing ICBA member institutions, ICBA Independent Banker pulled year-end FDIC data to identify the community banks with the highest performance metrics—those with best return on average asset ratios and the best return on average equity ratios—in six asset-size categories.

“Points West Community Bank is pleased to be recognized as an ICBA Top Performer,” said Tom Gillespie, Vice President of Points West Community Bank in Wellington. “As a proud member of the Northern Colorado community, we credit our loyal local customers and dedicated employees for our success. We look forward to serving the unique needs of our communities and helping them grow and prosper in the years to come.”

Since 1906, Points West has remained locally owned and operated, committed to providing premium banking services to its customers and communities. Points West has locations in Windsor, Wellington and Greeley along with Julesburg and Haxtun, Colo. and locations in Nebraska and Wyoming.
