The Foothills Bank was the dream of Hank Schechert, 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 bank was founded on the concept of "Banking With A Personal Touch". While providing all the current technology necessary for today's financial customer, it believed that friendly personal service is the key to success.
The bank has since expanded into Yuma with its branch on Avenue "A" and its latest branch at 6024 E 32nd Street. With three full service branches and a mortgage department, the bank is able to provide full banking services to all of Yuma. From an original staff of 7, the bank now has over 40 full time employees serving the needs of our customers.
As of year end 2007 the bank had $123,737,000 in assets, $109,629,000 in deposits and $97,600,000 in loans. The bank continues to be one of the best banks in Arizona.
