The Arkansas bank’s “smaller, concierge approach” to banking attracted Geis and his teammates, feeling a bit burnt by Great Western’s acquisition by First Interstate BancSystem Inc. The bank, which formed its current iteration in 2019 when new leadership took over Little Rock-based The Capital Bank and changed its name, operates in 20 markets across nine states.

Former Great Western Bank Boulder market president Gary Geis will serve as Encore’s executive vice president and Boulder market president. Encore Bank, a Little Rock, Ark.-based institution with about $2 billion in assets and a leadership team with a hankering for expansion, is breaking into a new market: Boulder.
