With so many new arrivals in Utah, it got us thinking…
We field so many questions from readers wondering where the best, well, everything is. Folks are looking for more than food and fun (our specialty). They need places to live, cars to drive, solutions for their business. So we asked some of our favorite partners to share their expertise and advise for newcomers and longtime locals. Enjoy!
Mom-and-Pops and Billion-Dollar Businesses Get the Same Expert’s Touch at Altabank™
Judd Austin, Chief Banking Officer at Altabank™, has seen and done it all with nearly two decades of experience. Now overseeing much of the big picture at the largest community bank in Utah, he hasn’t forgotten Altabank’s commitment to personalized service for all its customers. Large or small, every customer gets the same expert treatment at Altabank, as Austin explains.
What sets you apart from the rest?
“Altabank has been in business, under a couple of different names, since 1905. We have a long, distinguished history of helping businesses and individuals with their banking needs. We are also the largest community bank in Utah. This means we have more locations available to customers. It also means that we have the products, services, and capital to help businesses of all sizes— from mom-and-pops to billion-dollar enterprises—while maintaining the personal touch that community banks are known for. This applies to individuals as well. I regularly talk with customers about all aspects of banking and how they affect the customer experience.”
What makes you an expert in your field?
“I have been a community banker for 18 years. In that time I’ve been a loan officer, a credit officer, an operations officer, and a regional president. This experience means I understand all aspects of banking and how to best serve our customers. More importantly, having worked closely with customers across various industries, I bring an understanding of the customer’s business and how we can best meet their banking needs.”
What does the future look like for Altabank?
“We are well-positioned in the industry. We weathered the recent inflationary environment better than many banks. We continue to grow, allowing us to provide the products and services our customers want, including the latest technology. And we are in a position to expand our physical locations—there will be more to say about that later. We also keep up to date on issues impacting Utah and like to dig into data produced by the Gardner Institute at the University of Utah. This makes sure we are responsive to our customers and continue to be a leader in our community.”
