Collegiate Peaks Bank, a division of Glacier Bancorp, has proudly announced the opening of its full-service branch in Fort Collins, at 1130 Haxton Drive. The new branch marks a significant milestone in the bank’s strategic growth across Northern Colorado and reflects the success of its methodical approach to community banking.
“We’re very excited about our new Fort Collins branch, ideally located at the intersection of Harmony Road and Lemay Avenue,” said David Fritzler, Northern Colorado regional president for Collegiate Peaks Bank. “The bank is committed to establishing a permanent home in Northern Colorado, and this is an important first step. Combined with our longstanding presence in Denver, Southern Colorado, and the mountain communities, our new location provides the opportunity to serve customers from Colorado Springs all the way to Wyoming.”
The Fort Collins location originated in the spring of 2023 as a Loan Production Office (LPO), serving as a proof of concept for Collegiate Peaks Bank’s model of local decision-making, personalized service, and deep community engagement.
“Our Fort Collins team, led by Market President David Fritzler, is riding a wave of momentum that reflects the strength of our relationships and the trust we’ve built in this community,” said Liam Girard, president of Collegiate Peaks Bank. “We started with a focused, methodical approach—listening to what local businesses and individuals need—and now we’re ready to start a new chapter with our Harmony Road and Lemay Avenue branch”.
The Fort Collins branch, ideally located at the intersection of Harmony Road and Lemay Avenue, will serve a wide range of clients—from individuals and small businesses to municipalities, developers and professionals. Collegiate Peaks Bank collaborated with Surround Architecture and Centerre Construction on the renovation of the full-service location, which will provide the space necessary to expand the Northern Colorado team, while also allowing Collegiate Peaks Bank to tap into the abundant and talented labor pool required to support the growth of Collegiate Peaks Bank and Glacier Bancorp.
Collegiate Peaks Bank is proud to collaborate with respected local partners throughout Fort Collins and across Colorado to support initiatives that strengthen communities and promote economic growth. The bank’s commitment to impactful development is reflected in the projects it helps bring to life—projects that contribute to vibrant neighborhoods, create jobs, and enhance the quality of life for Coloradans.
“At Collegiate Peaks Bank, putting heart into banking means making local decisions, listening not dictating, and collaborating with our customers,” added Girard. “David and his team have taken that philosophy and ran with it. We are a better bank for having a flag in Northern Colorado!”
