Minnwest Bank has always believed that strong communities don’t happen by accident. They are built through commitment, partnership and people who care enough to roll up their sleeves. In 2025, we brought this to life across the communities we serve.
This year wasn’t just about banking. It was about showing up, investing in local strength, and helping families, farmers and nonprofits move forward with confidence. With the same spirit that founded Minnwest during the 1987 farm crisis, our team of doers continued to honor our roots by supporting the people who make our communities thrive.
Serving Communities Through Action
Our employees demonstrated what it means to be a true community bank. Across Minnesota and South Dakota, Minnwest Bank employees volunteered, mentored, served on boards and supported local causes.
- 5,919 volunteer hours dedicated to local needs
- 344 nonprofit organizations supported through time, resources and partnership
Every hour and every partnership represents a moment of connection with the communities we proudly serve.
Investing in Local Agriculture
Agriculture is the backbone of many of our communities, and supporting farmers remains central to our mission. In 2025, Minnwest Bank:
- Financed 1,642 farms, helping producers grow, innovate and sustain their operations
From family farms to emerging ag enterprises, we continue to stand with the people who feed our region and fuel our economy.
Building Homes and Strengthening Neighborhoods
A thriving community needs safe, stable housing, and Minnwest Bank is committed to making that a reality.
In 2025, we helped:
- Build 2,286 housing units through financing partnerships
- 362 families achieve homeownership through mortgage support
Behind each number is a family unlocking a front door or a community becoming stronger.
Building Strong, Vibrant Communities
Minnwest Bank’s story has always been about people — the doers, dreamers and builders who shape our communities. As a family‑owned bank with deep local roots, we remain committed to long‑term relationships, responsive service and meaningful community investment.
2025 was a year of impact, and we’re just getting started. Together, we’ll continue building communities where people and businesses can thrive.
