We are very excited to announce our plans to open a full-service bank in the Brainerd/Baxter, MN, community! We have a team of experienced bankers with many years serving the Brainerd/Baxter area. 

“Brainerd/Baxter fits well with our regional footprint in Minnesota,” says Patrick Chaffee, Bell Bank’s executive vice president for banking, wealth management and insurance. “It’s a great community with a strong business climate including commercial, small industry, tourism and lake population. We’re proud to be a family- and employee-owned company, and we look forward to serving customers with our unique brand of banking and unequaled personal service!” 

Bell’s Brainerd/Baxter team is currently doing business as a deposit/loan production office, offering limited services, in a leased space in Baxter. In the next several months, the team will move to a different interim space in the Westport Center at 14091 Baxter Drive. Bell Bank plans to build a new full-service location (with the site to be announced) that will ultimately house retail and commercial banking, and likely insurance, wealth management, and mortgage. That project will break ground in the spring, with anticipated completion in late 2027. 

We look forward to serving you in Brainerd/Baxter!
