So thankful for Ben's service on our Board of Directors and the other ways he serves our community. 👏

At Falcon National Bank, community involvement isn’t just encouraged—it’s who we are. This week, we’re proud to spotlight Benjamin Bierscheid, who serves as Treasurer of Youth Chorale of Central Minnesota, Vice President of Saint Cloud Rotaract, as well as a Finance Committee Member of Public Safety Foundation and Ellison Center.

Bejamin's commitment reflects our belief that strong communities are built when local leaders step up, share their expertise, and give back. We’re grateful for the time and passion our team invests in the organizations that help our communities thrive.
