Your Success is Our #1 Priority

Established in 1937, WIB’s core purpose is to offer outstanding educational and leadership development forums and to provide superior peer networking opportunities. We do this by connecting bank leadership, educating leaders and potential leaders, and informing varying levels of the bank.

WIB has more independent bank members than any banking association in the West. Our 175 associate member firms serve community banks and provide resources to help you work smarter and sharpen your competitive edge.

How is WIB Different than a Traditional Banking Trade Association?

WIB and WIB Service Corporation focus on the success of independent bankers and helping to improve individual and bank performance. While governmental relations are of paramount importance to other banking associations, WIB’s low membership fees allow banks to participate in the WIB network for learning, networking, and products/services information, and also support their state association for the purpose of lobbying and legislative issues.
