Bank
Bank of Colorado
Since 1978, Bank of Colorado has grown from a single branch in Fort Lupton to 161 locations in eight states — including 46 in Colorado.
As the bank continues to expand nationwide, Dan Nordberg, Bank of Colorado market president for Colorado Springs, says he enjoys being recognized at home.
“It’s a huge honor to even be nominated” for a Best in Business award, Nordberg said. “These recognitions are determined by the community we serve. To have the community support and recognition for the jobs we do and the investment we make in the community means everything.”
Nordberg said Bank of Colorado provided loans to small businesses during the pandemic to help companies remain afloat. The bank also continued to provide health savings accounts, certificate of deposits and IRAs for its clientele.
“To not only get through the pandemic helping the small businesses in the manner that we were able to, but also to get recognition for the work we’re doing to grow Colorado Springs and bolster its economy through commercial growth is a terrific recognition,” Nordberg said. “We’re so excited about the growth in our community and about the small role we’re able to play and continue to foster that growth.”

Financial Advisers
Raymond James and Associates
Raymond James and Associates recognizes their work involves more than financial advising.
Establishing relationships with clients, learning about their families and who they are has helped create a positive environment.
“If you bring in good people, the rest takes care of itself,” said George Garro, Raymond James and Associates senior vice president and branch manager.
Raymond James has more than 10 financial services for clients including fixed income services, retirement, longevity and investment planning and more.
They also provide varying news articles that link to business ownership, bullish or bearish signs from the stock market, investment strategies and how to protect your data.
“Everybody says this, but we actually practice it: For us it’s all about the client,” Garro said. “The firm has a huge respect for their employees. We know our work isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s what’s best for your particular area and office.”

Credit Union
Ent Credit Union
Since the 1950s, Ent has offered safe banking to military members and Coloradans, working to help them build financial intelligence.
“As a not-for-profit credit union, we often say that we are ‘owned’ by our members — over 400,000 of them throughout Colorado,” said Fred Jacobs, Ent senior manager of media relations and sponsorships. “That means every decision we make is with our members’ best interests in mind. We also recognize that everyone on the Ent team is responsible for delivering world-class service to those members.”
Ent offers auto, home and personal loans; personal checking and savings accounts — both of which accrue interest; and checking and savings accounts for businesses.
“There’s something special about being recognized as ‘the best’ in your hometown by the people who live and work there,” Jacobs said. “We are extremely proud of our roots in Colorado Springs and are proud to be celebrating 65 years in this remarkable city.”
