Testimonials
Luke Shuman, Owner
Hazzard Fab Worx
“We moved to RiverBank for merchant services and they worked to cater a plan to help with our specific service needs. We are saving money on processing and time with a customized plan for our team. RiverBank went out of their way to make my commercial property refi seamless and easy. We were able to come to terms in a quick conversation and a handshake deal. Two weeks later the deal was done. I refer any other business owners or family to them for a personalized and local bank feel. We couldn't be happier!"

Grant Barnes, Owner
One Tree Hard Cider
"Choosing RiverBank was honestly one of the best decisions we have made with One Tree. Our previous bank never took the time to understand what our business does, who our employees are, and what our needs are. It was day and night service from our previous institution. At RiverBank we were suddenly not just a number on a piece of paper".
- Grant Barnes
About Us
At One Tree we share joy by creating cider that is unquestionably delicious. We work with real ingredients sourced in the northwest to handcraft authentic and unique ciders that just taste incredible.

ACE on Francis and Ash & Rowan ACE Hardware
“We chose RiverBank because it is a community oriented, local bank that values small business and takes the time to understand our needs. We appreciate that decisions are made locally and we are not just an account in a file that gets shuffled around from place to place. RiverBank exceeds our banking needs by understanding our unique business and our future goals. We feel our banker is personally interested in our success and we value our relationship with him. We use their mobile branch service and find it is not just a time saver for us, but a huge financial plus on the labor budget! I love not having to take an hour to run to the bank. All of my requests are done with one quick email and the customer service is friendly, fast and knowledgeable. We got tremendous value from the bank CEO taking the time to sit down with us to listen and understand us and how the bank could serve our needs.”
- Dawn Gregg
About Us
"We started our first business in 2003 and have grown to two successful businesses. We have a unique business model with ebbs and flows throughout the year and we needed a bank who understood our needs. We began the journey of owning this business with another bank and several of the folks we had done business with in our 15 years have moved to RiverBank. They understand us, our business and our needs and most important to us, they are local! We strive to be the best at local customer service and we feel we have a great partner in RiverBank."

Pet Savers
“We got in touch with RiverBank and instantly felt a weight lifted off our shoulders. We met with the RiverBank Team and shared our mission, vision, and goals. Our banker pushed hard for us and they took a risk when other institutions did not or could not. The genuinely kind staff, passionate leaders and philanthropy heart of the company helped get our business opened and we are ecstatic. 2022 is the year a bank believed in us and our combined passion to serve our community comes to fruition. THANK YOU RiverBank."
