At the Heart of Better Banking

Whether you’re visiting us in one of our convenient grocery store locations, a downtown office or calling our customer service center, we’re committed to providing service that puts you first.

A Mission Worth Pursuing.

We’re proud to be a mutual bank that isn’t driven by stockholder value, but rather by putting our communities first. Whether it’s nurturing our amazing workplace culture or building off the extensive history that rests upon our shoulders, we have a monumental role to play in a bright future – and it all starts with our mission.

"To provide a welcoming atmosphere and commitment to making the lives of our customers and team members better by investing in them and their communities, For a Better Way of Life.®"

Committed to Your Better Way of Life.

A $3.4 billion mutual bank founded in 1923, Gate City Bank is the region’s leading financial institution, as well as the recipient of many community-based awards. We employ more than 770 team members at 43 locations in 22 communities across North Dakota and central Minnesota.

For a Better Way of Life® is our tagline and part of our mission, and it drives our mindset of servant leadership at Gate City Bank. At the core of who we are, we believe in serving our customers, communities and one another with innovative solutions, better products and a heart for philanthropic giving.
