According to the Loveland Reporter-Herald, branches of the First Community Bank in Fort Collins are now operating under the name of Great Western Bank.

Great Western’s president and CEO Jeff Erickson said, “The addition of these Colorado branches is consistent with our strategic growth plans and gives us the opportunity to leverage our financial stability and expand, particularly in the areas of consumer, business and agricultural banking.”

With the conversion of the new branches, Great Western has 22 locations in Colorado.
