Our Mission, Vision, and Values

What Grounds Us and Guides Us

Plenty of institutions call themselves “community” banks, but for them, it’s a designation, not a description. Idaho First Bank was founded with the intent of bringing genuine, selfless service to areas in need, creating lasting value, and strengthening relationships through trust and integrity. Our focus is on what’s best for our communities. Whether that means helping you find a home, start a business, or plan for the future, we’re equipped to support you.

Our Mission

What Guides Us

At Idaho First, we believe in putting people and communities first. That means providing real value through personalized service, grounded in decades of experience and a steadfast commitment to doing what’s right.

Our foundation is built on integrity, genuine connection, and unwavering support — but also on caring deeply about the people we serve, recognizing their challenges, and celebrating their wins.

As a relationship-driven community bank, we tailor every product and solution to help individuals and businesses find financial strength and long-term success. By earning trust and showing up with purpose, we help our clients — and our communities — thrive.

Our Vision

The Future of Idaho First

As we grow, we’re committed to remaining deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We will continue to lead with caring service, create lasting value, and strengthen relationships through trust and integrity.

Our vision is to build a future where every individual and business has access to the tools, knowledge, and support needed to grow with confidence. Through innovation, personalization, and a relentless focus on people first, we aim to empower lasting success and be a source of enduring strength for generations to come.

 

Our Values

Redefining Community Banking

Values are what make Idaho First more than just a secure place for your finances. They’re what drive us to adapt, connect, and protect what’s most important: our people.

Read more about our values below.

Success

Success is not one-sided. We succeed when our clients succeed. That’s why we prioritize long-term relationships, not short-term wins — because true success is built on trust, consistency, and meeting shared goals. These goals are realized by delivering on our promises, and empowering people and businesses to grow with confidence, resilience, and purpose.

Value

Value means more than competitive rates and convenient services — it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. We create value by listening first, tailoring our offerings to real, specific needs, and delivering lasting financial impact. Every product, service, and interaction is rooted in integrity. Our clients know that when they bank with us, they’re getting honest advice, transparent products, and service that always puts their interests and their community first.

Caring

Caring is at the heart of everything we do. We treat every client with empathy, patience, and respect — because banking is about people, not just numbers. However, our commitment goes beyond transactions: We show up, we listen, and we stand by our communities in good times and bad. Caring is part of our culture. It guides how we treat each other, how we support our clients, and how we invest in our communities. It’s why people choose — and stay with — Idaho First.

Strength

Our strength lies in our consistency, our community ties, and our unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of local needs, we provide a dependable foundation for our clients’ financial journeys. We are resilient, steady, and here for the long haul — serving as a reliable partner through every stage of life and business.
