Bank Overview:

Founded in 1902, Washington Trust Bank remains proudly independent. For more than 120 years, we have been focused on long-term client relationships. We dedicate our strengths as an independent regional bank to serving clients who understand the value of an established banking relationship and who seek tailored financial products and services. Our heritage and mission remain clear today: we will be the best at understanding and meeting the financial needs of our customers.

Executive Chairman Peter Stanton is the fourth generation of his family to lead the Bank, growing from its small Spokane headquarters in 1902 to an $11B financial institution with 40 locations throughout Washington, Idaho and Oregon. We enjoy an advantage over our publicly traded competitors because we focus on long-term goals rather than quarterly results. We base our decisions on what is happening in our communities and what is right for our customers.

We have never strayed from our commitment to client service, continuing to grow our commercial, private banking, wealth management, small business and consumer portfolios even in the most challenging macroeconomic environments. Our sound business practices, innovation, knowledge and expertise have seen us through both the best and the most difficult economic cycles. Washington Trust's longevity and success are a testament to our unwavering commitment to our clients and our employees.
