Altitude Bank | Durango, CO

A Story You Won't Find Anywhere Else in Durango

Citizens State Bank was founded in 1913, high in the San Juan Mountains, on an idea that hasn't changed in over a century: bank where you live, know your neighbors, and keep decisions close to home. Altitude Bank™ is that same bank, elevated for the next community lucky enough to call it home.

It took over a hundred years to build. This is its first chapter in Durango.

We didn't pick Durango. Durango Already had us.

Our market leader, Diana Murray has called Durango home for 14 years — raising her kids here, supporting local businesses, and cheering on this town long before she ever wore a Citizens State Bank badge. She served on the Bank's Board of Directors for three years before joining the team in 2025, and Durango was always in the plan. Bringing true community banking home wasn't a market study. It was personal.

What Banking With Us Feels Like

The same idea Citizens State Bank has run on since 1913. That means real relationships — we know your name, your goals, and the history you've built here. It means local decisions, made by someone who lives in Durango too, not a committee somewhere else. It's a century of experience in mountain-community banking, applied to yours. And it's independent by choice — locally owned, so our priorities stay local.

Altitude Bank™ is our vision: where we're headed, and the elevated experience we're building toward. Citizens State Bank is the charter, the team, and the promise we've kept since 1913 — the bank actually doing the banking today. As we grow, you'll see more of Altitude Bank™ in the day-to-day. Until then, think of Altitude Bank™ as the name on the door, and Citizens State Bank as everything behind it.
