Orem Branch Now Open

Published 09/25/2023

D.L. Evans Bank has been supporting the families and communities of Idaho and Utah since its beginning, and what began more than a century ago continues to grow. Our legacy of serving others continues as we open our 39^th branch in Orem, Utah. We are honored to be a part of a city that understands what it means to be a community.

Since 1904, the people at D.L. Evans Bank have valued hard work and caring for communities. For 119 years, we have been dedicated to putting customers and family first — the same recipe for success that founder David Lloyd (D.L.) Evans used when he started the first branch of D.L. Evans Bank in Albion, Idaho.

D.L. was a man who lived a life fueled by integrity, compassion, and a remarkable work ethic — a man whose friendliness, charitable heart, and value of relationships live on. Everyone at D.L. Evans Bank, from directors to officers to tellers, strives to embrace these same principles as we serve our various communities throughout Idaho and northern Utah.

The new Orem branch, located at 545 East University Parkway, Suite 103, is led by Gregg Taylor, Vice President Branch Manager. Gregg brings 43 years of banking experience and leadership to the bank and is joined by Nannette Jackson, Operations Officer, who has been in the banking industry for 21 years. Through their leadership and the skills of many others who make up the Orem branch team, we are confident that D.L. Evans Bank of Orem can meet the banking needs of Orem residents and businesses.

John V. (J.V.) Evans III stated, “The Orem branch has a team of bankers with unmatched drive and dedication to serve our customers and communities. We are humbled by the opportunity to continue to grow and expand our family-owned and employee-owned franchise while providing our customers with top-notch banking solutions and the best customer service in the industry.”

We at D.L. Evans Bank, Orem, look forward to investing our time and energy into such a wonderful community. Seeing families and businesses grow is something we genuinely live for.

Our promise to the people of Orem is to never lose sight of D.L.’s vision from more than a century ago —banking is about one thing: helping people.

Come on in; we would love to meet you and begin meaningful, long-term relationships with all of you who call Orem home.
