A complete Guide to Farmers Bank Idaho


Nearly 25% of Americans don't use a bank to manage their finances. As a result, they are often the victims of money services like payday loans or other cash advancements.

Out of those who are banked, a large percentage say they are unhappy with their current bank. But financial services are available to everyone, regardless of income level. And everyone needs a bank they can trust.

At Farmers Bank Idaho, we strive to provide our clients with the best financial products and services along with the highest level of service. Our goal is to treat every client like family, not like an account number.

Farmers Bank Idaho History

So why should you choose Farmers Bank? We have been serving our local communities in the Magic Valley since 1917. J.C. Hamilton began working at the bank in 1918 and proceeded to invest all he had into the bank and into the local community.

With a firm belief in the valley, multiple generations of Hamilton's have kept Farmers Bank moving forward. In 2005, the latest succession took place, as our current president, Mike Hamilton, began his presidency of Farmers Bank. And in 2014, the 4th generation of Hamiltons officially joined the team. 

We understand that the key to success is treating everyone like family. Just as our family has given everything to keep the tradition of Farmers Bank alive here in the Magic Valley.
