Sunwest Bank is the flagship of the H Bancorp family. Acquired in 1996, the Bank has grown to over $1.3 billion in assets and expanded its footprint across Arizona, Utah and Idaho. Sunwest's significant growth occurred in 2009 as the Bank's disciplined credit culture placed it in a position to act as a platform for failed FDIC acquisitions. In that year, the Bank completed three acquisitions; MetroPacific Bank, Pacific Coast National Bank and First State Bank of Flagstaff. In 2013 and 2014, the Bank continued its expansion across the northwest through FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Washington-based Westside Community Bank in 2013 and Idaho-based Syringa Bank in 2014. The organization plans to continue its expansion across the western United States through targeting specific, growing markets.
