High Country Bank is the largest financier of real estate loans in Chaffee County and continues to make a significant impact on the surrounding counties.

Community support is high on the list of priorities of the Bank. Last year, we donated over $100,000 in support to local organizations, non-profits, and schools. Some of the organizations that we proudly support include Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center, Neighbor to Neighbor, Boys and Girls Club, Alliance Against Domestic Abuse, Chaffee County Search and Rescue, Ark-Valley Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, Farm to Table, Art Walk, Friends of the Steamplant, and many more.

High Country Bank offers a full service of loan products, including business, construction, residential real estate, and consumer loans. All decisions are made locally at High Country Bank. While HCB remains a community bank, we offer many of the same services that big city financial institutions offer, including a Save As You Spend Account, online banking, bill pay through the internet, mobile deposit, person to person, and e-statements.
