ABOUT US
First Western is the best private bank for the western wealth management client. We provide integrated wealth management solutions on a private banking platform. We listen to our clients to gain an understanding of their wealth management needs and create customized solutions in the areas of private banking, personal trust, investment management and wealth planning.

In this time of turmoil in the financial markets, many are unsure of where to turn. We want to provide our friends of the bank with comfort that First Western remains the best solution for all of their financial needs.


We successfully operate in the conservative, safe and sound world of trust banking. We believe our superior results are not an accident – we have a culture that emphasizes putting the client first, and establishing long term relationships with our clients.

We have a culture built around risk management, and we focus on long term results both for our clients and for our own operations. When the markets are booming, we may seem a little boring and cautious, but in times like these, we stand out as a safe harbor.

This “flight to quality” at First Western led us to a spot on the 2008 Inc. 500 list, including us as the top Bank or Bank holding company. We have continued our record growth this year, with our steady, conservative risk-managed approach yielding great results for our clients and stakeholders alike.

- Scott C. Wylie, Chairman and CEO, First Western Financial
