President's Welcome

Dear Customer or Potential Customer:  

I appreciate you taking the time to find out about Bank of American Fork. In today’s electronic age, this Internet introduction is a quick and efficient way to initially get to know each other. But while the Bank utilizes electronic communications and is proud of its tradition of being on the cutting edge of bank technology, I believe it is our people and way of doing business that will ultimately distinguish us from the many financial choices you have to handle your banking needs.     

As Bank of American Fork has grown from its roots as a small community bank serving American Fork to the largest community bank in Utah, I am often asked about the name “Bank of American Fork.”  Some are unaware that we have 11 branches stretching from Murray to Spanish Fork. Others are unaware of the size and volume of business done by the Bank. The Bank has retained “American Fork” in its name, not so much as a geographic location, but as a way to highlight the philosophy of the Bank. American Fork is a way of doing business, not just a place. It could be any American community. We think American Fork is symbolic of the heartland of America.

American communities are vibrant, growing places where people make money the old-fashioned way – they earn it. In the best of America’s communities, neighbors care about each other and the growth and strength of the community. From the charitable organizations to the building of a solid commercial infrastructure to provide jobs, shelter, commerce and growth, these are living social structures that make America what it is.  We are proud to be and have been a part of this tradition since 1913.  

Our slogan “Big City Banking – Small Town Service” is an attempt to capture the personality of our Bank. To us, Big City Banking means that you have above industry standard technology, financial strength and knowledgeable employees to assist you in your financial needs. The Bank has electronic deposit-gathering technology, sophisticated online banking and security protection. The security of your assets is important to us.

We can handle complex financial needs in both the lending and depository side of banking business throughout the state. Our credit card department, financial services business and long-term mortgage department are also available to assist you in all facets of your busy lifestyle and needs.

We will work hard to earn your trust and respect, and believe you will find your banking experience exceptional. Please contact me personally if I can be of assistance.
