Idaho Trust Name Change

We are pleased to announce that we have shortened our name to Idaho Trust Bank. In taking this action we have dropped the word "National." This reflects how you, our other clients and the community normally refer to us. It also reflects our regulation as a state chartered community bank. Our change should have no impact on you or your business with us. No action needs to be taken by you to change your checks, debit cards, wealth management account or anything else.

If you have any questions regarding the change please read through the questions and answers below. You are also welcome to contact us if you would like additional information.

Q & A

Question: Do I need to order new checks?
Answer: There is no need to order new checks. Your current checks will work just fine. You will see our new name on your next order of checks.

Question: Do I need to order a new debit card?
Answer: No. When your card expires, your new card will arrive with the new name.

After several years as a nationally chartered bank, we have returned to our roots as a State of Idaho chartered bank.

Question: Why did you make this change?
Answer: Our change reflects the evolution of our banking business and strategic focus on Idaho where we want to be the Best Business Bank in the Business. There has been no other change in our ownership, control or corporate structure.

Idaho Trust Sponsors Family in Need

Idaho Trust is once again sponsoring a family in need this year for Christmas. The last year has been trying for many people and we all really wanted to be able to help at least one family have a memorable holiday. We heard about a working single mother with four children who were having a bit of a difficult year and decided to help them have a wonderful Christmas. Staff members donated money and gifts for each of them according to their wish lists. Once again I was so touched by how generous our staff really is - we were able to give them everything on their list and even some extras! Santa helped deliver gifts, and when he opened the door the kids were beyond excited. We piled the presents beneath the tree and asked them what they thought about all of it. They said it was the biggest Christmas they ever had and couldn't wait to tear into them. The mom was so thankful and surprised at how much everyone had given to make her family's Christmas special. Thank you to all Idaho Trust staff who gave this year! You really made a difference.
