Today, First Interstate Bank operates 70 branches and over 150 automated teller machines (ATMs), and is the largest bank in Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.
FIB's vision is to provide a wide range of financial services, which meet or exceed market expectations. This is done through exemplary customer service, business leadership and a highly professional and dedicated team of owners, managers and employees.
