bankcda marks 25 years with state recognition for community service
Gov. Brad Little and Idaho finance officials honored bankcda as the Coeur d'Alene lender marked 25 years and posted $389,134 in first-quarter profit.
State officials recognized bankcda at its board meeting on June 17, presenting a Certificate of Appreciation for 25 years of service to Idahoans. The certificate was signed by Gov. Brad Little and Idaho Department of Finance Director Salvador Cruz, who credited the Coeur d'Alene bank’s long-standing service, financial stewardship and commitment to the communities it serves.
The recognition put a homegrown Kootenai County institution in a broader statewide frame. The Idaho Department of Finance said Idaho-chartered financial institutions matter because they strengthen local economies and provide services tailored to community needs, while regulatory oversight is intended to support safe and sound operations for Idaho consumers.
bankcda was established in Coeur d'Alene on May 17, 2001, and the bank’s history page says it was founded by forty local leaders who believed North Idaho needed a bank that truly served its people. That origin still shapes the bank’s identity. Its mission page says the institution exists to elevate the region by supporting businesses and individuals in the area.
The bank has also grown well beyond its original headquarters. Recent company materials list branches in Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Kellogg, Spokane and Richland, showing a footprint that now reaches across North Idaho and into eastern Washington. A June 2026 Idaho Department of Finance release identified Wes Veach as bankcda’s president and CEO.
The anniversary came as Coeur d'Alene Bancorp, the bank’s parent company, reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $389,134, or $0.20 per share, up from $249,759, or $0.13 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. Investor materials also said the bank continued to exceed the minimum community bank leverage ratio and remained five-star rated by Bauer Financial.
For local leaders, the milestone is more than a ceremonial nod. In a region where small businesses, nonprofits and households often depend on decisions made close to home, bankcda’s quarter-century run shows that a community bank can remain anchored in Coeur d'Alene while building enough scale to serve a wider Inland Northwest market.
