Forward Bank

Forward Bank is pleased to announce the official opening of its newest branch located at 474 WI-70 Truck in Camps Market. To celebrate this exciting milestone, we invited the community to join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 30th.

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.

"We are thrilled to open our doors and officially welcome the businesses, residents, and visitors of St Germain to our new branch," said Jake Weinand, VP/Market President of Forward Bank. "This opening represents our dedication to providing accessible, customer-focused banking services in the Northwoods. We enter rural communities that other banks often abandon, because we see the value and know we can have a big impact."

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.
