We focus on all aspects of the local Oregon economy including small and mid-sized businesses, local government, professionals and of course, consumers.

Columbia River Bank
Columbia River Bank is a $400,000,000 (in assets) bank that is headquartered in The Dalles, Oregon. Our focus for over 20 years has been providing financial services and education to businesses throughout Oregon, with a strong emphasis on agriculture-related business. All of our "banking presence" is in smaller, more rural markets. The bank grants our loan officers the authority to make decisions locally. This allows us to respond quickly to a small business owner's needs.
We actively use state and federal loan programs, if needed to assist us in being creative when structuring loan packages. Banks who provide small business financing need to be more than just order takers. It is very necessary for the bank to understand the business, particularly their cash flow needs before structuring a financing package.
Our commitment is to assist in the success of local businesses through proper and creative financial advice.
