Gateway Bank AZ President and CEO James Christensen is retiring next year.

Gateway Bank is the only community bank based in Mesa, AZ — locally owned, locally led, and proud to serve Arizona businesses and residents since 2007. We specialize in helping people across Mesa, Gilbert, the East Valley, and Greater Phoenix get fast, flexible business loans to fund operations and growth, along with convenient banking services so you can manage your money anytime, anywhere. When you partner with Gateway, you work directly with a local team who knows you and makes decisions here, not through an 800 number or an out-of-state approval committee. Whether you’re a growing Arizona company or a longtime East Valley resident, Gateway Bank is your local alternative to the big banks — built for people who want a real, long-term banking relationship.
