Midwesterners are famous for their work ethic, which is exactly what made Great Western Bank grow from the small town of Leon, Iowa to a regional leader with nearly 200 locations.  Living up to the philosophy of “Making Life Great” is what gets us out of bed in the morning. It’s more than a phrase, it’s what we do for our customers and our communities. It’s what we do each and every day, and we’re happy to say we’ve been doing it for nearly a century.

Banking is a very competitive business. Today, consumers have a lot of choices, they do their homework, and they shop around. What sets us apart is the quality of our people, locations, products and service. That’s why we hire the most talented individuals to work in our banks.
