What First Interstate BancSystem does

Regional bank serving Montana, Wyoming and the Northern Rockies/Plains with commercial, agricultural and retail banking.

Earns mostly from the gap between loan interest and deposit costs, with fees from payment services and wealth management as a second line. It takes deposits from towns where competition is thin, and farm and energy cycles in the region affect loan demand. The 2022 purchase of Great Western Bancorp extended it into the Dakotas.
