Longmont

High Plains Bank opened in downtown Longmont in 2013. We are delighted to have helped hundreds of small businesses launch (and succeed) with solid and scalable Merchant Services business solutions. In addition to being a small business champion, High Plains Bank also provides strong financial support and partnership for many Longmont residents.

Our Longmont team engages deeply in the community to keep a pulse on the best way to serve, from involvement with the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce, various Rotary Clubs, the Longmont Economic Development Program, the OUR Center, and more. We look forward to continuing to serve as Longmont’s premier community bank to meet our customers’ financial needs from small business banking, merchant services, home loans, online and mobile banking, and more!
