D.L. Evans – This is Community Banking

Local hometown communities are near to our heart because our founder was born and raised in a community that valued their local hometown businesses and people. Being bright, energetic, and possessing the pioneer entrepreneurial spirit, the brothers formed a close family partnership that over the years led to the development of two Evans Cooperative Mercantile Stores (one in Malad City and the other in American Falls), several ranches and farms, and investments in thirteen pioneer Idaho and Utah banks. D.L. Evans Bank started as a small business and was capitalized with just $25,000. Both brothers were public-spirited and served in numerous local public leadership positions, including the Idaho Legislature during its early statehood years. The brother’s sense of service lives on in one of the Bank’s core values, Commitment to Community.
