We are pleased to announce that we have completed our acquisition of the State Bank of Downs and Berkley Bank. Our institutions were all built on the same promise: know your customers, know your community, and show up for both.

Customers in Downs, Kansas, and Englewood, Colorado, now have full access to Points West's technology and services while still working with the local bankers they've trusted for years.

As our CEO Mark Brase put it: "Community banking has always been about more than where someone keeps their money. It is about having someone across the desk who understands your business, knows your community and cares about what happens after the loan is made."

We're honored to carry that forward together.

💙🩺 MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT BEGINS THIS WEEK
It's almost time to review your Medicare coverage and make sure your plan is still meeting your health care needs.

📅 Medicare Open Enrollment: October 15 – December 7, 2026

During this annual enrollment period, Medicare beneficiaries can:
✅ Review their current Medicare coverage
✅ Make changes to their coverage for 2027
✅ Check that their preferred providers and medications are covered

Even if you're happy with your current plan, it's a good idea to review your coverage each year. Plans, costs and benefits can change.

Changes made during Open Enrollment generally take effect January 1, 2027.
