WestStar Bank
Monica DeSmet's Company Details
WestStar's history begins with two banks: First National Bank of Fabens and Bank of the West. In 1920, during an extremely turbulent time for rural banks and farmers, First National Bank of Fabens first opened its doors. Proving its grit, the bank grew and eventually acquired two other local institutions, Bank of Ysleta and Bank of El Paso. In 1990, just years after another financially critical time in our country, Bank of the West (WestStar Bank in 2012) began its journey and quickly became one of our region's most respected banks. In 2016, the two banks merged to become the institution we know today. Now, as the region's leading commercial bank, WestStar has assets of more than $1.9 billion and employs over 330 team members in branches stretching from Fabens, TX to Las Cruces, NM. As an active economic driver in our vibrant region, WestStar provides area businesses the capital they need to expand and thrive. In addition to banking services, WestStar also offers an array of financial products, including treasury management, investment, title, and insurance.
