The bank has been transitioning from a "mutual savings and loan" to a true local bank. AKPB
bought 2 branches from Bank of America when it pulled out of the state. Northrim purchased the branches
in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Be careful if you decide to purchase as it is very thinly traded.

Catalyst
Wells Fargo has now transitioned (taken over) National Bank of Alaska and many
Alaskans are starting to miss the personal service and local knowledge. The other local banks are really playing up the
local angle. This is not an overnight play but should only be done with a long term horizon.
