The Values of a Community Bank Matter; Here's Why

More and more organizations are offering financial services. So, what should you care about when selecting a financial partner? At Frandsen Bank & Trust, we believe how your bank engages with you and supports the local community is just as important as their financial expertise. Here is how Frandsen Bank & Trust demonstrates its dedication to the principles of a genuine community bank.

More Than 100 Years of Success

Frandsen Bank & Trust was established as a community bank in 1901 and has remained well-capitalized for over a century. Our mission is centered on local decision-making, employee engagement with our communities, and building stable core deposits. Our vision is to help create financial success for our customers, communities, and employees.

The Frandsen Way in Action

For us, it’s all about relationships. We exist to serve our customers. That means we start by working to understand who you are so that we can better understand what you want and need from a partner. Our team proactively recommends products and services that align with your personal or business goals. We strive to deliver superior customer service. This is what we call advisory banking.

And our customers agree. Through the Forbes Best-in-State Bank independent survey, customers gave us the highest marks in the state across eight categories: general satisfaction, trust, financial advice, branch services, customer services, digital services, terms and conditions, and recommendations.

Our focus on remaining part of our local communities is just as important as our people. Here are just a few ways Frandsen continues to be locally focused:

• Each location can tailor products and services to serve its customers best.

• We hire individuals who are involved corporate citizens and recognize the importance of giving back. Each year, Frandsen team members donated more than 7,000 hours to community service.

• We also contribute financially. A good example is our Orlo A Balcer Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded to 25 students each spring.

Combined, these efforts demonstrate how we genuinely believe that the success of the people, businesses, and farms in our communities makes us all successful.
