First Citizens Bank, which sits on Highway 200, was robbed shortly after 9 a.m., just after opening for the day. No customers were in the bank, which was staffed by three employees.
Missoula County Sheriff's Capt. Greg Hintz said a white man with a dark baseball cap and a blue bandanna over his face came into the bank and showed a pistol to a teller.
He escaped with an unspecified amount of money, got on a bicycle parked nearby and rode south on Staples Street, which runs alongside the bank.
“No one was injured in this robbery, and that's a good thing,” Hintz said.
The man was wearing tan pants, hiking shoes and a dark, hooded parka with white stripes across the chest that went under the armpits and continued down the sleeves, Hintz said.
The man's ball cap had a red bill, and he also wore sunglasses.
The man was described as between 5 feet 7 inches tall and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the sheriff's department at 258-4810 or Crimestoppers at 721-4444.
