Community banks do more than serve their communities – they're part of them.

As local businesses themselves, community banks support schools, volunteer with nonprofits, participate in community events, and help other small businesses thrive.

This Small Business Month, we're celebrating a few of the many ways Minnesota community banks invest their time, talent, and resources back into the communities they call home. ❤️

Your business is growing – and suddenly there are a lot of big decisions to make.

Maybe you’re expanding your space, hiring help, upgrading equipment, or trying to keep up with demand. Exciting? Absolutely. Overwhelming at times? Also yes.

Our latest blog post walks through what lenders look for during the small business loan process, how to prepare with more confidence before you apply, and why the right banking relationship should feel like a conversation, not just a transaction.

Cold weather didn’t stop Minnesota bankers from getting out on the course yesterday. ⛳

Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Legacy at Cragun's Resort on Gull Lake for our first-ever BankIn Socials event in northern Minnesota! It was a great day of golf, networking, laughs, and reconnecting with fellow community bankers and industry partners from around the state.

And thank you to Jerrid Sebesta - Life-Undeferred for bringing plenty of energy and fun to the afternoon!

It was exciting to bring a golf event to the Brainerd Lakes Area this year, and we’re already looking forward to doing it again next month at Dacotah Ridge Golf Club in Morton - see you there!

“I believe in moving forward instead of trying to protect the old ways of doing things.”

That mindset has helped shape the growth of North American Banking Company and the career of BankIn Minnesota board member Michael Bilski.

A recent feature from BankBeat highlights Michael’s passion for innovation, payments technology, and relationship banking – and how those ideas helped grow North American Banking Company from a de novo bank to a $1.5 billion institution serving customers across the Twin Cities and beyond.
