As a top USDA and FSA lender, First Southwest Bank (FSWB) has helped rural Colorado's agricultural industry grow.

In 2022, the Colorado Department of Agriculture selected FSWB to serve as lender for the new $30 million Colorado Agricultural Future Loan Program that makes capital available to young, start-up, and established farmers and ranchers. FSWB is a U.S. SBA Preferred Lender, and 2022 and 2021 Community/Rural Lender of the Year.

Serving Southern and rural Colorado, FSWB specializes in small business and agricultural loans, personal and business banking. With a 100-year history and roots in the San Luis Valley, the bank today operates branches in Alamosa, Center, Cortez, Durango, Pagosa Springs and Saguache.

FSWB is one of two Colorado banks earning Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) designations from the U.S. Treasury for making the majority of our loans to people in places historically unable to access capital. That designation enables us to get more and give more as we are able to access funds unavailable to other banks.
