Bell Bank Mortgage

Bell is the largest family-and employee-owned bank in the upper Midwest, and one of the largest in the nation, with assets of more than $13 billion. That success is thanks to our many loyal customers, whose confidence in us has led to growth and opportunity.

Bell Bank has once again earned a 5-star rating (the highest possible) for financial strength and stability from BauerFinancial, the nation’s premier bank-rating firm. Year after year, Bauer has recommended Bell as a superior financial institution — following an in-depth analysis of regulatory, historical and other data.

“We’re incredibly proud to be ranked among the strongest banks in the country,” notes Michael Solberg, Bell’s president and CEO. “We’ve been privately owned since we were chartered in 1966. As a family- and employee-owned company, we’re free to make decisions based on long-term goals — not short-term gains. No matter what’s happening in the economy, we focus on being smart, nimble and efficient, growing through exceptional customer service and competitive pricing.”

An independent company that has been analyzing and reporting on the banking industry since 1983, Bauer rates every federally insured credit union and U.S. chartered bank with assets of at least $1.5 million against the same strict standards of capital adequacy, profitability, loan quality and more. Financial institutions do not pay for their ratings, and they cannot opt out.
