“Before Minnwest Bank, my co-founder and I had great difficulty finding a bank that felt like a partner to help us grow. Minnwest is unlike any other bank we've met, and they have completely changed our banking perspective in the best way possible! Instead of questioning decision making, they work with us to learn and support the decisions we are making to grow the company. From our SBA bankers
to the tellers at the branches, everyone truly feels invested in our success. Minnwest has an amazing team and is a true partner - we couldn't be more thrilled to grow with them into the future.”
