Our HistoryIndependence Bank, formerly known as First Security Bank, was founded in 1972 by a group of Havre business owners who saw a need for a community bank. The headquarters opened at its present Fifth Avenue location in March 1973. Since that time we have acquired branches in Poplar, Scobey, Malta and Glasgow. In 2014, we opened a Branch in Conrad, in 2019 we opened a LPO/DPO in Great Falls, and in April of 2021, we opened a LPO/DPO in Plentywood. In 2022. the Shelby branch opened May 9 and the Great Falls branch opened. Our latest addition is the Wolf Point branch which opened June 12, 2023. Our "hometown" banking philosophy and local decision making separates us from our competitors. We specialize in Ag and Commercial lending, but we offer a complete range of banking services. The decisions we make and our lending practices are all based on the needs of families and businesses in the communities we serve.
