How a century-old Wyoming bank
became the last community bank serving
Jackson Hole — and why that matters.
Chartered in 1919
More than a century after its original charter, Tanager continues investing in the future of communities through local banking relationships, experienced leadership, and a commitment to keeping community banking connected to the people and businesses that define the region.
KEY MILESTONES
Chronological history of how we built trust
1919
CHARTERED AS UINTA BANK
Uinta Bank is chartered in Mountain View, Wyoming, founded by ranchers, merchants, and civic leaders to serve the financial needs of western Wyoming communities during a period of rapid economic growth.
1943
Supporting Wyoming Through Wartime
During World War II, Uinta Bank became a leading local distributor of war bonds, helping communities participate in wartime bond efforts while remaining connected to businesses and families navigating change at home.
1971
Banking a Growing Wyoming
As additional branches opened in the state, customers had more access to familiar bankers, local lending authority, and banking relationships informed by the economies and everyday needs of Wyoming communities.
2020
Centennial Anniversary
Uinta Bank reached its 100-year milestone as a State Member Bank. The bank is the second institution in the Federal Reserve’s Tenth District to achieve 100 years of membership.

Community Banking Returns
After Jackson lost its last Wyoming chartered bank, Tanager returns locally owned community banking to Jackson through the acquisition and rechartering of Uinta Bank, bringing Wyoming leadership, local decision-making, and community investment back to Teton County.

Wyoming Locations
Tanager arrives at a time when banking across the country continues moving toward consolidation, centralized decision-making, and increasingly distant service models. In Wyoming, people still value knowing their banker, walking into a branch and recognizing familiar faces, and working with financial institutions connected to the communities where they live and work.
Tanager represents renewed investment in BANKING THE WYOMING WAY.
THE UNITA BANK ERA
Some of our customers have been banking with us since the Uinta Bank days — through three, four, even five generations.
