First Utah Bank Wins Gold Award for “2026 Best Bank” from Best of SLC

We are proud to announce that First Utah Bank has recently earned the Gold Award for “2026 Best Bank” by Best of SLC. Decided by voters in the Salt Lake area, this award is an incredible honor because it’s chosen by the community we serve.

Best of SLC has been recognizing area businesses for the past seven years, selecting finalists based on criteria that combine local nominations, public voting, Google reviews, and a Better Business Bureau profile check. Nominees can’t incentivize or pay for votes or reviews, and voters are limited to one vote per category. Nearly 100,000 votes and almost half a million reviews from Salt Lake area residents come in each year, and the process is scrupulous.

“Everyone here is deeply touched by this recognition, and we’re grateful to the customers who trust us to support them in their financial lives every single day,” says Amy Foulks, President and CEO of First Utah Bank.

At First Utah Bank, we’ve always believed that banking should feel personal. As a true community bank that’s owned and operated by people who live and work right here in Utah, we approach banking differently. For almost 50 years, we’ve operated on the belief that a bank should be a genuine partner in the financial lives of the people and businesses it serves. We know our customers by name, we make decisions locally, and we’re committed to supporting local businesses and organizations.

“Awards like this one are a reminder of why we do things the way we do. Our most important stakeholders have always been the communities around us, which is what makes this acknowledgment so special,” says Foulks.

Thank you for voting and for the privilege of being your bank.
