Say hello to neighborhood banking that puts you 1st.
We are dedicated to making your transition to 1st Security Bank as easy as possible and more information will be provided to you in the weeks leading up to the conversion.
When will the conversion to 1st Security Bank accounts and services occur?
The conversion is scheduled for the weekend of 10/3/26. The changes to your account will be effective on 10/5/26.
Will the business hours at my branch change?
The West Linn and Lake Oswego branches will maintain their normal business hours. The Commercial Lending Vancouver and Portland offices will remain appointment only with no cash transactions available.
Will the phone number of my branch remain the same?
Yes, branch phone numbers will remain the same.
Will any of my current services be unavailable during the conversion weekend?
You will be unable to access your accounts through Online and Mobile Banking during the conversion weekend. However, you will have access to your checking account through the use of your new 1st Security Bank Visa® debit card or Pacific West Bank checks.
Does 1st Security Bank have a business mobile app?
Yes, 1st Security Bank has a business mobile banking app for both Apple and Android products. Find it in the Google Play or Apple App stores and start using it on or after 10/5/26. Learn More
Will my deposit account or routing numbers change?
The majority of account numbers will not change. If your account number is one that will be updated, we will contact you directly. Your new routing number is: 325182289.
Will my outstanding Pacific West Bank checks be cleared through my new 1st Security Bank checking account?
Yes, any outstanding Pacific West Bank checks will continue to be processed after the conversion. You may continue to use your existing Pacific West Bank checks until you run out. After the conversion on 10/5/26, if you need to reorder more checks, reach out to Business Services at (877) 372-4249.
Will my Direct Deposit (ACH) deductions/deposits transfer without interruption, or will I have to set them up again?
Though we strongly recommend you update all ACH, auto withdrawals and deposits initiated by another party (payroll, social security, insurance payments etc.) with your new routing number and bank name instructions, rest assured that there will be no interruption to your deposit or withdrawal services. 1st Security Bank will maintain Pacific West Bank’s routing number, so all items will still clear through your new 1st Security Bank accounts.
I currently have a certificate of deposit (CD). Will my rate change?
No, 1st Security Bank will honor the rate on your CD for the duration of the certificate term. For CDs which renew automatically we will mail you an advance reminder of your CD’s maturity 20 days in advance; for non-renewing CDs we will mail the reminder 10 days in advance. During the 10-calendar-day grace period, you may transition to one of our competitive deposit products. To view 1st Security Bank’s current rates, please visit fsbwa.com/rates.
Will I receive check images with my monthly statement?
Pacific West Bank customers who currently receive check images with their monthly statements will not need to re-enroll with 1st Security Bank after 10/5/26. The service charge for check images with statements is $3. You can also view, print or save the front and back of the images of checks that have cleared your account in Business Online Banking.
Will my Internal Overdraft Protection on my checking account continue?
Yes, 1st Security Bank will transfer enough funds from your savings or checking account to cover the overdraft.
Will my deposits still be FDIC-insured?
Yes, your accounts will be insured up to the maximum amount allowed by the FDIC, provided they meet certain requirements. For the specific FDIC coverage rules which apply to your deposits during an acquisition or merger, please visit fdic.gov. Consumers generally have a six-month period after the date of acquisition before they need to rearrange any accounts which could be uninsured because they exceed the FDIC limits. There are different rules for CDs and the six-month rule does not apply to business entities. The FDIC’s Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) can help you calculate the insurance on your deposits, fdic.gov/edie/calculator.html.

You will begin sending your payments to us on 10/5/26. You can mail your payment to:

Will the terms of my loan change?
Most loan terms will not change. You will be contacted directly if yours is one of the select few that will be changing.
