TACOMA, Wash., (November 10, 2026) — Columbia Bank, a subsidiary of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLB), today announced the opening of its first Southern Nevada FinancialHub and a new commercial banking office, expanding its presence in Las Vegas and reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of the West's fastest-growing markets. Community members, local business leaders and bank representatives recently gathered to celebrate the expansion.
“Southern Nevada is a dynamic market with a business community that continues to attract talent and investment,” said Chris Merrywell, President of Columbia Bank. “Our growth here reflects Columbia's commitment to pairing exceptional local bankers who know this market with the resources, capabilities and flexibility needed to help customers succeed. We're proud to support the businesses and people who make this region such a great place to live and work.”
The FinancialHub marks Columbia's second retail location in the Las Vegas Valley and is located at UnCommons, a premier mixed-use destination. Serving as both a retail branch and community gathering space, the FinancialHub delivers personalized banking services while creating opportunities for connection and engagement.
Adjacent to the FinancialHub, Columbia’s new commercial office accommodates the bank’s growing commercial banking team. With approximately 30 bankers serving Southern Nevada, Columbia provides a full range of commercial banking capabilities, with particular expertise in commercial and industrial lending, construction, hospitality, and convenience and fuel retailing.
Columbia’s retail and commercial expansion builds on Columbia's growing presence under the leadership of Southern Nevada Commercial Banking Market Leader David Navarro.
“These new locations bring our Las Vegas operations closer together while increasing our visibility in one of the Valley's fastest-growing areas,” said Navarro. “Businesses and individuals in Southern Nevada value trusted relationships and bankers who understand the opportunities and challenges unique to this market. Our team has spent years serving this community, and we're excited to continue growing alongside it while helping our clients achieve their financial goals.”
Designed to be more than a traditional branch, Columbia's FinancialHub model combines technology-enabled banking with personalized service in an environment built around connection and collaboration. Interactive digital displays and dedicated bankers are available to assist customers with everything from routine transactions to financial planning and lending solutions.
“Banking is ultimately about relationships,” said Dave Hansen, Head of Retail Banking at Columbia Bank. “We designed the FinancialHub to be more than a place for transactions. It's a space where customers can access financial expertise, collaborate with others and build meaningful connections within their community. That's an important part of how we're enhancing the banking experience.”
The FinancialHub is located at 6817 Helen Toland St., Suite 110, and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
