"The Family of Banks is a group of locally owned and operated community banks that strive to develop longstanding personal relationships with our customers. Relationship banking is at our core and we take pride in consistently exceeding our customersAo expectations. Further, our bankers live where they work and support their communities through financial assistance, donations, and volunteerism. Bitterroot Valley Bank, the first member of the Family of Banks, was established in 1981 as a community bank servicing Lolo, Montana. Over time, five other community banks joined our family, and very recently we merged with our long time friend in the Bitterroot, Ravalli County Bank."
