What it means to work with a locally-owned community bank:
You can see the investment Bell makes in the community, and you feel like you’re part of something here. When you cross the finish line at the iconic events in town, like the Fargo Marathon, there’s Bell Bank to give you your medal and a cookie and a bottle of water.
It feels good to be a part of the Pay It Forward program and how much Bell gives back. When Bell makes a commitment to happy employees and happy customers, to give people good jobs with good benefits – that’s something we feel proud to support.
What we tell others about Bell:
The biggest reason we like Bell is it really does have everything you could want in one bank. The rates are the same as the mega-banks, but with the personal service from people you know and a commitment to the community that’s genuine. It’s just a wonderful place to do your banking business.
There are a lot of banks out there, but when a small-town, local bank can have the same rates or better and have such a commitment and investment in the community, I don’t know why you wouldn’t bank here.
