This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Celebrating its 153rd anniversary today, Zions Bank is the oldest financial institution headquartered in the Intermountain West. Since its founding, the bank’s mission has remained steadfast, even as technology and banking have evolved. Executive Vice President, Heidi Prokop, joins us with more.
Heidi Prokop:
Picture a one-room bank in 1873. Its sole cashier carries deposits of currency and gold home each night for safekeeping. Fast forward to today. From its 18-story headquarters, that same bank serves a vibrant business community across the state.
As an institution that has witnessed and fueled incredible change since its founding, Zions Bank is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of today’s entrepreneurs. Our innovative products help businesses fight fraud, make informed financial decisions and manage cash flow.
Experienced Zions Bankers build relationships with clients, offering customized insights as businesses launch, create jobs and grow. And local companies exploring new global markets can seize opportunities with our International Banking services.
From Silicon Slopes to Salt Lake City and beyond, we’re in it for the long haul as we guide startups and legacy businesses through all their stages.
