Lakewood Bank is now BlackRidgeBANK

At the beginning of October, Lakewood Bank became BlackRidgeBANK.

Our name has changed, but you’ll barely notice any differences. You’ll see the same faces when you visit our locations, and we haven’t changed how we do business.

We haven’t been acquired. In fact, BlackRidge Financial has owned our banks for several years. They are committed to stable, community-focused banking with locations in Minnesota and North Dakota. BlackRidge has simply given its banks a common name to offer you more locations and even better service.

BlackRidgeBANK has the following banking branches for your use:

What you can expect. We have new signs at our locations, and are working on a new website to be launched in early 2012.

We have enjoyed being a part of the Brainerd Lakes area for several decades and we will continue to be here for you and your financial needs. We appreciate your business and cannot thank you enough for being a loyal customer. Local decision making and great customer service will continue to be our trademark. We continue to look forward for the opportunity to differentiate our brand and look forward to seeing you soon.

We’re excited about becoming BlackRidgeBANK. For us, it’s simple math: Three great banks. One great name. Please do not hesitate to call me or stop by one of our bank locations if you are interested in discussing this matter further.
