bank like you live: the way we see it

We've never thought of ourselves as simply a bank. We're really more like knowledgeable neighbors, the kind you invite over for a cup of coffee, seek advice from and chat with over the fence. And we're here to help you bank like you live.

There's a sign that hangs in every Umpqua Bank store that reads, "Welcome to the World's Greatest Bank." This is not a tagline, it's a state of mind.

• It's a promise to do better than anyone expects of us today, then do it even better tomorrow.
• It's a belief in doing good, not just doing well. 
• It's treating every customer as if you've known them your entire life.
• It's connecting people to their community, connecting neighbors to neighbors, and local, independent businesses to local customers and resources.
• It's constantly surprising the world with what a bank can be and how a bank can actually be a part of a customer's life.
• It's equal parts checking account and knitting club, commercial loan and music source, IRA and Internet café. 
• It's understanding our customer's financial needs and at the same time realizing that there's more to life than money. 

Here, fresh and unexpected is the norm - it's where an errand turns into a pleasant escape. It's making sure every customer who walks into our stores or commercial centers is a better person for having banked with us. It's nearly 2,000 of us, from Western Washington to Eastern Oregon to Northern California, building something that's never been built before. Something people can believe in and communities can feel connected to.
