Because we are not owned by outside investors who are typically interested in next quarters’ earnings, we are able to think differently. The bank is owned by the Grimstad family and its employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan so the decisions we make are long-term in nature. There is no need to focus on short-term earnings because the bank is not for sale. We believe that by treating our customers and employees fairly and with the respect they deserve, the bank will prosper in the long run.
We understand that we must provide excellent service, convenience, competitive pricing and services to maintain customer relationships. We make every effort to do this, while also doing our part to help the community prosper. Our bank, directors, officers, and employee-owners are committed to giving back to the community by offering time, talent, and resources to many worthy causes.
Our goal is to add value to our client relationships by identifying their needs and then helping them reach their goals.
