November holds a special place in our hearts at Foothills Bank—it’s our anniversary month! On November 3, 1997, Hank Schechert launched a bank with a vision: to create a community-focused, service-driven financial partner that feels like home. Thanks to YOU—our incredible customers—we’ve grown far beyond our humble beginnings in Yuma. Today, we proudly serve communities in Prescott, Casa Grande, and have welcomed new friends from State Bank of Arizona, Mohave State Bank, and Country Bank into the Foothills family, which has grown our footprint statewide.

As we celebrate 27 years of service, we’re filled with immense gratitude and joy. Reflecting on the journey, we’re reminded of the values that have been with us since day one: a deep care for people, a passion for building stronger communities, and a commitment to fostering growth—whether for a homebuyer, a small business, or an entire region.

Our success isn’t just about numbers. It’s about impact. From Yuma to Prescott, and beyond, we’ve been honored to partner with local organizations making a real difference. We’ve supported remarkable groups like The Launch Pad, Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children, Boys & Girls Club of the Sun Corridor, Friends of Mohave Animal Shelter, Hospice of Yuma, and so many others. These collaborations remind us of why we do what we do—because we believe in giving back to the communities that have supported us for 27 years.

While our growth has been exciting, what truly sets us apart is YOU—our customers. Your stories inspire us, and we’re so grateful for your trust and loyalty. Here’s what a few of you have shared with us:

“I’ve been banking with Foothills for a couple of years now, and the people here never cease to amaze me! They’re always kind and joyful. Who would have thought that enjoying your job would transfer to treating your customers with respect?” – Timothy

“I love this bank! They are super helpful and very nice!” – Britt

“We decided to open a business account with Foothills after checking reviews, and I’m so glad we did! Becky went out of her way to help us, and the energy in the lobby is just amazing. We’re glad we chose this bank!” – Jose

These heartfelt testimonials remind us daily that our greatest asset is the relationships we’ve built with each of you. Whether you’re starting a new chapter with a first home or growing your dream business, we’ve been privileged to walk alongside you at every step.

Looking to the future, we’re more excited than ever about what’s to come. As we mark this incredible milestone, we’re reaffirming our commitment to delivering the best possible banking experience for you. No matter where life takes you—buying a home, expanding a business, or planning for the future—Foothills Bank will continue to be your trusted partner. Thank you for being part of our journey. You are the heart of Foothills Bank, and we can’t wait to see where the next 27 years will take us.
