History

RNB State Bank and Front Range State Bank originally named The Rawlins State Bank, was chartered on January 2nd, 1899. A year later, at the turn of the 20th century, The Rawlins State Bank changed from a state charter to a national charter and became The Rawlins Nationla Bank.

Since that day the bank has grown  to include south central Wyoming, with branches in the communities of Saratoga and Hanna, Wyoming. From there. With an eye to the future, RNB also expanded into the diversified markets of the Colorado Front Range with a full service branch in Longmont, CO and a Loan Production Office in Lakewood, CO.

Our vision remains the same….we endeavor to provide our customers with modern financial products and tools, combined with old fashioned service. That forward looking attitude has never left us, and on July 1st of 2019, 120 years later, The Rawlins National Bank has changed to a state charter, and changed it’s name to RNB State Bank.  Our full service branch in Longmont, CO operates as Front Range State Bank, a division of RNB State Bank. 

Our diverse market area has allowed us to take advantage of the many different opportunities which arise over our geographic footprint. From Wyoming ranches to metro Denver real estate; car loans and small business lending, our experienced staff can tailor any loan to meet your needs.

We have a solid history of adapting to the ever changing banking industry, seeking out new opportunities and new markets in which to provide our customers the financial tools they need for today’s more complex world. Our smaller size and knowledgeable staff allows us to be flexible and creative in finding ways to best serve you. We are looking forward  to our new future and invite you to come along with us!
