Brainerd/Baxter Full‑Service Location Now Open
3/10/2026 1:00:00 PM

We are excited to announce that our full‑service Bell Bank branch in the Brainerd lakes area is now open!
Our team of experienced bankers – many of whom have served the region for years – are ready to welcome you to our location at 14091 Baxter Drive in Baxter, inside the Westport Center.
“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!”
While we serve the community out of our current location, planning is underway for a brand-new, full-service branch that will feature retail and commercial banking, along with additional services. Groundbreaking is planned for this spring, with an expected completion of late 2027.
We look forward to serving you in Brainerd/Baxter!
