Minnwest Bank Recognized for Excellence in Community Banking | |
|
Minnwest Bank is proud to be recognized by Forbes and Fortune magazines as Best in Community Banking in 2024. This accolade recognizes banks that demonstrate a strong commitment to service in their communities.

As many banks move away from more localized markets, Minnwest Bank remains committed to providing these communities with the resources they need to flourish.
