List of Bank of Whitman Branch Closures and
Nearest Banks

(En Español)

On Friday, August 05, 2011, Bank of Whitman was closed by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions. Columbia Bank assumed all of the Bank of Whitman deposits.

While all depositor accounts are being transferred to Columbia Bank, the physical facilities of 12 of Bank of Whitman's 20 branches will close.

Residents and businesses previously served by these now closed branches who do not transact banking business electronically, through the mail, or over the Internet will need to travel to one of the remaining open eight branches now owned by Columbia Bank for in-person banking services.
