About Bell Bank Mortgage

Our roots are deep. In 1880, Bell Bank Mortgage was founded as Bell Mortgage by early Minneapolis, MN, city leader David C. Bell. Today, as a major division of Bell Bank, one of the nation’s largest family- and employee-owned banks, Bell Bank Mortgage upholds a stellar reputation. Bell’s experienced lending team offers a huge variety of loan options and programs for homebuying, building or refinancing. And our in-house dedicated team results in quick, accurate and smooth processes all the way to no-surprise, on-time closings. With a growing physical presence and the ability to lend in 34 states coast to coast, we combine a national reach with local, in-person support to help our clients navigate their homebuying journey.

In 2011, Bell Mortgage became a part of what was then State Bank & Trust, the largest independently owned bank in the Midwest. One year later, the entire company rebranded as Bell, taking a more unique name for our respected and growing brand. Bell embraces a simple yet powerful commitment, long embodied in our “bottom line” mission – “Happy employees! Happy customers!” Core values of family, unequaled service and giving back are at the heart of what we do.
