The Foothills Bank was the dream of Hank Schechert, the founder of the Foothills neighborhood east of Yuma. The bank opened on November 3, 1997 in a temporary facility and moved into its permanent location on March 30, 1998.
The Foothills Bank was founded on the concept of "Banking with a Personal Touch". While providing all the current products and services necessary for to meet the needs of today's technology savvy customer, we believe that friendly, personal service is the key to success.
As we move into 2010, our four full service branches and mortgage department are able to provide a full range of banking services to all of Yuma. From an original staff of 7, the bank has grown to nearly 50 employees serving the needs of our customers.
Currently the bank has over $210 million in assets, $175 million in deposits, $170 million in loans and $25 million in capital. The Foothills Bank continues to be one of the highest rated banks in Arizona.
