Looking for an SBA loan in Utah? Senior Loan Officer, Roger Shumway, breaks down how First Utah Bank is a little bit different when it comes to acquiring a loan.

As an SBA Preferred Lender, First Utah Bank has the authority to approve SBA loans directly. That means no waiting for an additional layer of government approval after the bank has already made its decision.

For you, that means:
✔️ Faster decisions
✔️ Less paperwork and waiting
✔️ More time focused on running your business

When opportunities arise, timing matters. As one of Utah’s SBA Preferred Lenders, we’re proud to help local businesses access the financing they need with a more streamlined process.

Because growing your business should be your focus—not waiting on approvals.

Financial empowerment isn’t just a moment: it’s a movement.

National Pinkfix Day is about more than awareness. It’s about action.

It creates a ripple effect—impacting families, businesses, and entire communities.

Start small.
Learn more.
Have the conversations.
Support women-owned businesses.

At First Utah Bank, we believe real change happens when knowledge is shared and opportunities are accessible to everyone.

We’re upgrading your login security.

Customers will now use a one-time password (OTP) sent to your email instead of answering security questions when logging in to Online and Treasury Management Banking.

This added layer helps protect against unauthorized access by verifying each login in real time.

If you don’t receive your code, be sure to check your spam folder or confirm your email on file is up to date.

Reminder: Never share your login credentials or OTP with anyone.
