Northrim Bank, headquartered in Alaska, stands as a testament to the vision of its founders who recognized the need for a different kind of bank in the Alaskan landscape. Founded on the principles of strength, independence, and a deep commitment to community and customer service, Northrim Bank emerged from the challenges of recession.

Incepted on December 4, 1990, with an initial capital of $8 million, the founders’ dedication to their purpose laid the foundation for a resilient institution. From its humble beginnings as a small community bank with 21 employees, one branch, and $8 million in assets, Northrim has evolved into a prominent community leader. Today, boasting well over 400 employees, branches stretching from Fairbanks to Southeast Alaska, residential mortgage origination offices across the state, and assets exceeding $2 billion, Northrim Bank continues to embody the spirit of community-focused banking in Alaska.
