Celebrating 25 Years of Local Banking – Thanks to You!

On October 31st, Willamette Valley Bank proudly celebrates 25 years of serving our local communities—and we want to take a moment to say, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you.

What started in 1999 as a local banking initiative built on relationships and trust has grown into something truly special—because of the support of people like you. Our customers, community partners, and dedicated team members have shaped every chapter of our story. Your belief in community banking and your loyalty over the years have allowed us to grow while staying true to our local roots.

For 25 years, we’ve had the honor of helping families buy their first homes, local entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses, and generations of customers save for their future. But beyond the numbers, it’s the personal moments—the handshakes, the conversations, the milestones—we cherish most.

We believe in the power of local people helping local people. Every loan we fund, every financial literacy class we teach, and every donation or sponsorship we support is made possible because of you. You’ve helped us give back, grow stronger, and stay grounded in what matters most: community.

As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we look forward to the future with gratitude, pride, and continued commitment to service. Whether you’ve banked with us for 25 years or just joined the WVBK family—we’re so glad you’re here.

Here’s to 25 years of community, connection, and making a difference—together.
