Great Western Bank is a regional bank with around 900 employees and a network of more than 100 locations across six states, predominantly in the mid-west agricultural region of the US. Great Western Bank provides banking, wealth management and insurance services to its personal and business banking customer base.

Great Western Bank's philosophy is to 'Make Life Great' for its customers, co-workers and communities.

Great Western Bank's goal is to become one of the leading financial institutions in the western United States. To attain this goal the bank recently launched an internal program called 'Great Expectations', which established expectations and guidelines for all employees. This program affirms a long term philosophy that the employee is the company's greatest asset.

Great Western Bank was purchased by National Australia Group in 2008. The Group's strategy in America is to achieve continued growth in retail, with an increased focus on agribusiness, and to expand business banking into new markets. Great Western Bank provides the ideal platform for this strategy.
