Great Western Bank: Making Life Great

Our Roots

Nearly a century ago, we were a small town bank, but because of our sound and prudent banking practices (and a lot of hard work), we grew to become a leading regional bank with over 100 locations. Along the way, we've also earned the reputation of "One of America's Safest Banks."

A healthy history

Giving our clients all they need to be successful is at the core of who we are. Our stability and depth of resources are enhanced by the strength of our parent company, National Australia Bank (NAB). NAB has a history of over 150 years of helping businesses like yours succeed.

A bright future

We've had some great accomplishments over the years. But we continually ask ourselves how we can serve our clients better. Today, we're looking forward to tomorrow, not only helping your business or practice succeed, but establishing a solid foundation for its future growth.
