“Our company has grown substantially, with Banterra locations now in six states including Arizona and Utah,” said Jeff May, President & CEO. “The banking industry is continuously changing, and we felt it was important to have a nationwide digital banking platform, so we launched Sun Canyon Bank online and opened our first location in this community in 2019.  This brand allows us to offer the most competitive rates possible and provide services to a larger market. We are proud to now open our second location in this area.”
