The Downtown Rochester Branch is more of a tool and a resource for our entrepreneurs than it is a traditional bank. We invite you along on our 6 episode journey as we build out this tool for our customers. Get to know your team in Rochester all the better before you stop in next.

 

Our downtown Rochester branch is now open! Things look a little different than we expected they would when opening our new location.

Take a look inside our new downtown branch on our virtual tour and when you're ready, we're excited to serve you in person!

 

It's moving day already. We've had a lot of fun these last few months bringing you along on the journey of our new build of the downtown location! As your community bank, we'll never forget where we started. It's exciting to continue growing and it's all thanks to our Doers like you, who we continue to make you our first priority. No matter what we do, that will never change.

 

It's episode 4 and boy have things been changing at our downtown location! Meanwhile, our Rochester team is back at it again, stopping into some of our community's important nonprofits that we love. This episode we deliver a check to Ness with Hope Fuse and Virginia with the YMCA!

 

 

In episode 3 we highlight two non-profits that are near and dear to our hearts. The new Children's Museum called Spark and Revolutionary Earth. Our customers aren't just a name and number for us, they are our friends and families and we are so proud to be a part of the vibrant Rochester community!

 

In episode 2 we filled balloons with local businesses gift cards and took to the streets of Downtown Rochester to bring some smiles to the community! Take a sneak peek behind the scenes at the progress happening Downtown. We're getting excited as things are coming together, we hope you are too!

 

In episode 1 we take a tour around the current branch and meet the team! With a lot of experience and a claim to fame as the "fun bank", you can see why it's always a good time when you stop in to see your friends at Minnwest.
