Pending Board and regulatory approval, First Security Bank will officially be under the Glacier Bancorp umbrella in early 2018. The new relationship will eventually lead to First Security Bank’s Golden Triangle locations joining First Bank of Montana under the First Bank of Montana name. First Security’s Gallatin County locations will merge with Big Sky Western Bank under the First Security Bank name and brand. "We are proud to be adding First Security Bank to the Glacier fam- ily of banks,” stated Randy Chesler, Glacier's President and Chief Exec- utive Officer. “This is a unique opportunity to expand our presence in the fast growing Bozeman market and create the largest community bank in the area by combining Big Sky Western Bank with First Secu- rity to operate under the First Security Bank name. In addition, we will expand our First Montana Bank agriculture franchise by adding the First Security Bank locations in the Golden Triangle – an area well known for its high quality farms and ranches." Chesler added, "First Security Bank is almost 100 years old and has an excellent team and reputation in their local markets. They also bring outstanding branch offices, solid earnings, strong customer relationships, and a solid core deposit base.” Bruce Gerlach, President and CEO of Inter-Mountain Bancorp, said “We felt this move was in the best interest of our shareholders while preserving the First Security Bank brand. The combination of these two banks joining forces will result in one very strong bank, with shared values around customers, employees and communities, and the promise of a continued bright future in our growing markets.” First Security Bank has eleven branches serving southwest and cen- tral Montana. Glacier Bancorp, based in Kalispell, owns the original Glacier Banks and has grown to include community banks through- out seven western states. They use a community banking model, giv- ing local banks autonomy in each market. This allows each commu- nity bank to continue serving the specific needs of each community, while offering the benefits of being part of a larger organization.
