When Citywide Banks opened its doors in 1963 as Aurora National Bank, the founders were determined to set a new standard for business banking in Colorado. With a keen understanding of the small business owner’s financial needs, they set out to create a bank that offered the service, expertise and products often reserved for larger businesses.

And now, 44 years and 14 branches later we are happy to say that the commitment of our founders to providing ‘banking with the human touch’ is still the foundation of our business today.

Vince Schmitz, one of the original founders of Citywide Banks, still provides leadership to the bank’s daily operations as CEO and Chairman of the holding company’s board and Chairman of Citywide Banks.

Marty Schmitz has served as President of the holding company – Citywide Banks of Colorado Inc., since 1996.   Jeff Schmitz, as Executive Vice President of the holding company, manages business development and the bank's human resources, marketing and information technology functions.
