Wheatland earns five-star rating in March

Wheatland Bank, Spokane, is proud to be recognized as a 5-Star Superior bank by the nation’s leading bank-rating and research firm, BAUERFINANCIAL, Inc. A 5-Star rating indicates that Wheatland Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation. In fact, Wheatland Bank has earned Bauer’s highest 5-Star for five consecutive years.

Among other factors, to earn this rating Wheatland Bank must not only report impressive capital levels, but also an enviable loan portfolio with negligible levels of delinquent loans. Karen L. Dorway, president of BAUERFINANCIAL, would like to congratulate the entire team at Wheatland Bank.

Under the leadership of Ms. Susan M. Horton, CEO, Wheatland Bank is one of the U.S. banks that evokes an image of a brighter banking future for our communities. That’s good news regardless of your age and income bracket.

Wheatland Bank was initially founded in 1979 in Davenport, Wash. to serve the needs of the Lincoln County agricultural and business communities. It’s a commitment that is kept alive with powerful local ownership and decision-making. Wheatland Bank has since expanded to 13 locations throughout Spokane, Lincoln, Adams, Chelan, Grant, Kittitas, and Yakima Counties, and is a value-oriented financial services provider dedicated to serving the needs of its customers, communities and employees while enhancing shareholder value.
