First National Bank Cortez

First National Bank, Cortez has proudly served Montezuma County since 1958, following its establishment through the consolidation of the J.J. Harris Bank. Founded in downtown Cortez under the leadership of Wilkes Bozman, the bank has built its reputation on integrity, personal service, and strong community ties. From the beginning, it has focused on face-to-face banking and meaningful relationships with customers.

As the community and banking industry evolved, so did First National Bank, Cortez. In 2011, the bank moved into a modern, customer-focused facility on East Main Street, designed to enhance transparency and comfort. With an open-concept lobby, personal teller pods, and a community café, the new space reflects the bank’s continued dedication to service and innovation. Today, First National Bank, Cortez offers a wide range of financial products while staying true to its mission: to be "Your Bank… Face to Face."
