    Bank of Colorado

    Best in Business Gold Logo

    Bank of Colorado has 46 locations across Colorado, tracing its roots to Great Depression-era Palmer, Nebraska, where brothers George and Tom Dinsdale (and some of their friends) opened what would become Pinnacle Bank in 1938, according to the Bank of Colorado’s website. Over the next eight decades, the bank grew under the leadership of the Dinsdale family to serve communities across eight states.

    Still proudly owned and managed by the Dinsdale family, they operate 162 banks, with 46 locations in Colorado.

    As we grow, one community at a time, we recognize that each has a unique culture and set of needs for us to adapt to. That’s why our decisions are made locally. Banking decisions, as well as how we support our communities beyond our branch walls, are decided by people who are a part of and have a vested interest in the community.

    According to the company website: “We’re proud to be part of Pinnacle Bancorp. While our bank may have grown out of our hometown – our core values have remained a mainstay at every location. We face the future with confidence knowing we have a firm foundation.”
