Review & Overview

First Interstate Bank is a smaller bank specializing in Home Improvement, Refi, and Home Purchase loans. First Interstate Bank has a high proportion of conventional loans. They have a a low proportion of FHA loans. (This may mean they shy away from first time homebuyers.) They have a low ratio of USDA loans. Their top markets by origination volume include: Bend, Missoula, Kalispell, Bozeman, and Boise City among others. We have data for 102 markets. (Some data included below & more in-depth data is available with an active subscription.)

First Interstate Bank has an average approval rate when compared to the average across all lenders. They have a below average pick rate when compared to similar lenders. First Interstate Bank is typically a low fee lender. (We use the term "fees" to include things like closing costs and other costs incurred by borrowers-- whether they are paid out of pocket or rolled into the loan.) They typically have relatively high rates.

We show data for every lender and do not change our ratings-- even if an organization is a paid advertiser. Our consensus data does have lag, but it is highly correlated to a lender's rates & fees relative to their markets. This means that if a bank is a low fee/rate lender the past-- chances are they are still one today. Our SimulatedRates™ use advanced statistical techniques to forecast different rates based on a lender's historical data.
