Summit Bank

Meet Andrew (Andy), Vice President, Portfolio Manager at Summit Bank's Downtown Portland office. Andy brings over twenty years of banking experience to our team, spending the last four years focusing heavily on our relationships in the commercial real estate and industrial sectors, among others. While he enjoys helping all his clients succeed, his favorite part of working at Summit is the strong bonds and friendships he has built with his colleagues over the years. Outside of the office, Andy is a dedicated father who loves spending time with his kids and cheering them on in their sports and academic activities. We’re excited to introduce you to Andy as part of our Downtown Portland Team!

Our Eugene Office recently volunteered for another successful Taste of Oakway event benefitting The Relief Nursery! A special shoutout to Summit's Alyssa Clare who serves as President on their Auxiliary Board. This nonprofit works tirelessly to prevent child abuse and support early child development for families in need.

Our hearts are with our neighbors around the Pacific Northwest affected by the growing wildfires in the region. We are incredibly grateful for the local firefighters, emergency personnel, and first responders who are working tirelessly to protect our friends and neighbors. Please stay safe and check local updates and resources to stay prepared.

As Club President of Eugene Country Club, Summit Bank’s own Stacy Koos recently had the honor of moderating a conversation with Oregon Ducks starting quarterback Dante Moore.

Dante shared thoughtful perspectives on football, leadership, and life. His humility, maturity, and grounded approach stood out just as much as his accomplishments on the field.

Thank you, Dante, for giving us the opportunity to get to know the person behind the player. We’re excited to see what’s ahead for Dante and the Ducks!

Meet Scott, the Community Association Team Lead at Summit Bank’s Downtown Portland Office. Scott has spent the past five years working closely with our HOA partners. He enjoys that his colleagues are so grounded and accessible, creating a welcoming workplace where everyone feels like a friend. Outside of work, you can catch Scott spending time with his family, playing soccer, reading, or hiking. We’re excited to introduce Scott as part of our Downtown Portland Team!

To Our Clients, Shareholders, and Communities,

At Summit Bank, being an independent community business bank is a responsibility we take seriously. We strive daily to earn the trust and confidence of our clients and communities.

Founded in Oregon over twenty years ago, Summit Bank remains committed to serving Oregon businesses, professional firms, and nonprofits.

Over the past two years, acquisition agreements involving five Oregon-headquartered banks have been announced. Two of those transactions have closed, and three remain pending. Today, only 12 independent community banks remain headquartered in Oregon. If the pending transactions are completed, that number will fall to nine. This ongoing consolidation underscores the importance of local banks like Summit Bank, where decisions remain rooted in the communities we serve. This purpose continues to guide our growth and investments.

For our clients, independence means local decision-making by professionals who understand Oregon’s business environment. It also means direct access to experienced bankers, tailored financial solutions, and relationships that extend beyond individual transactions.

Our Eugene Office had a fantastic time last weekend supporting Kids FIRST's Winetasia Fundraising event at the beautiful Hinman Vineyards! This incredible organization provides local children who are victims of crime with vital support and protection. We are so happy to have played a part in this amazing evening, thank you to everyone who made this night possible!

Congratulations to Cameron Yates on being elected to the HIV Alliance Board of Directors!
