Forward Bank

Forward Bank announced last year plans to expand their presence in the Northwoods and enter the St. Germain community to provide banking services. After selecting a location and completing a remodeling project, the location at 474 WI-70 Truck in Camp's Fresh Market is now open.

The St. Germain community will see Sydney Munds in the office helping customers on a daily basis. She is supported by the full Northwoods team of Jake Weinand, Larry Snedden, Brian Fritz, Scot Thompson, and Ramzey Britt. A full line of banking services for businesses and consumers is available. Insurance and Investment services will be offered by appointment.

The new office opened in St. Germain on Wednesday, July 24 and features new Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) technology to conduct customer transactions both in the lobby and in drive-up. During business hours, the team of Enhanced Virtual Assistants (E.V.A.) greet customers and work through transactions with them as if they were standing right in front of them. After hours, the machines work in a self-service mode which allows customers to use them as an ATM with the ability to make deposits and receive cash in different denominations.

“The entire organization is excited to bring our style of service and commitment to the community,” stated Jake Weinand, VP/ Northwoods Market President at Forward Bank. “The integration of technology like E.V.A. paired with great people will be key.”

A grand opening celebration will be held in August with details to be released in upcoming weeks.
