Talk to your local Oregon Pacific Bank team
Governor Tina Kotek has officially proclaimed October 19–23, 2026, as Community Bank Week in Oregon.

Relationships in a World of Automation
Banking keeps getting more digital, and Oregon Pacific Bank uses technology every day to make banking more convenient. But when something stops being routine, people still want someone who knows them. In their new article, Medford’s Dawn Hartley, VP and Relationship Banking Officer, and Will Kotaniemi, Branch Manager, explain why technology should support relationships, not replace them. Read “In a World of Automation, Community Still Matters.”
As Oregon marks Community Bank Week, we invite you to stop by your local Oregon Pacific Bank branch, meet our team and join us in celebrating the local businesses, neighbors and communities that make Oregon strong.
