Standing Strong

The West Bank Story

Standing Strong tells the more than 130-year story of West Bank, an award-winning Midwest regional bank.

Since its simple beginnings on the muddy streets of Valley Junction in 1893, West Bank has seen its share of change. As West Des Moines’ oldest existing business, the bank has survived recessions and a depression, 23 U.S. presidents have come and gone, and improvements to technology have dramatically changed all aspects of human life.

Despite it all, West Bank continues to thrive, regardless of what it faces. Its investment into people and deep-rooted relationships continues to be the strength behind its resilience and ability to weather changes in government policy, unprecedented interest rate hikes, and social expectations.
