Kindness is in Our Hands
World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on November 13. This is a day intended to highlight good deeds focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
The health, safety and well-being of our customers, employees and communities continues to be our top priority. Due to varying safety recommendations in the areas surrounding our branches, some location lobbies are open to the public, while others remain open by appointment only. Please use our Lobby Reopening Schedule to determine if an appointment is required before your visit.
Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month is recognized between September 15 to October 15.
It’s roots go back to 1968, beginning on the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Great Western Bank honors the contributions of those with a Hispanic heritage to our company, our country’s history, future growth and continued success.
Gabriela Vargas Avalos, Branch Manager II
“Working with people from different backgrounds has helped me value them and the opportunity to have an open mind in regards to other cultures.
Treating my clients fairly and at the same time avoiding stereotyping based on their race, ethnicity or the way they look helps build their trust in me which produces good relationships and great results.”
Isabel Morales, Business Banker II
"By participating in cultural events I hope to transfer the language and traditions of my heritage to my grandchildren so that they too will connect with their heritage and celebrate their uniqueness for years to come."
