Bell Bank is an independently owned bank based in Fargo, North Dakota

Bell Bank is a privately owned interstate bank headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota,[1] with assets of $11 billion[2] Bell Bank, which employs more than 1,900 people[3] (more than 560 in the Twin Cities region[4]) has 20 full-service banking locations in North Dakota, Minnesota and Arizona,[5] and mortgage locations in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin.[6] State Bankshares is Bell Bank's parent company.[7]

History and growth

Bell Bank was founded as State Bank of Fargo in 1966[8] as a single location in the Northport Shopping Center in Fargo.[9] Thomas "Buck" Snortland was one of the company's founders.[10]

In 2003, the bank bought Northern Capital Trust, a trust company and flex spending adjudication business.[11] Richard Solberg, who was then the bank's president and CEO, had served on the board of directors for Northern Capital Trust since the company was established—16 years before the merger.[12]

Not long after the merger, Bell created a spin-off company called Discovery Benefits, which administers flexible benefits, COBRA and health savings accounts.[13] Bell also started HealthcareBank, one of the largest health care savings account banks and a client of Discovery Benefits.[14] In 2019, State Bankshares announced plans to sell Discovery Benefits for $425 million to Wex Inc., a South Portland, Maine-based payment processing and business solutions provider. In 2021, Bell and WEX agreed to WEX's acquisition of certain HSA assets of HealthcareBank.[15]

In 2011, the company acquired Minneapolis-based Bell Mortgage, expanding its reach into the Twin Cities and Phoenix, Ariz.[16] The company changed its name from State Bank & Trust to Bell State Bank & Trust in 2012[17] and to Bell Bank in Aug., 2016.[18] In 2013, Bell acquired Minneapolis-based The Business Bank and its Prime Mortgage Division.[19] Bell Bank Mortgage expanded its offices into Wisconsin and New Mexico in 2018,[20][21] Florida, Missouri and Tennessee in 2019,[22][23] and Kansas in 2020.[24]

Bell launched an equipment finance division in Minneapolis in 2018, to serve the manufacturing, transportation, construction and agriculture industries.[25]

In 2019, Bell signed a purchase agreement to buy Warner and Company Insurance in Fargo, Schiller Insurance in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and Thompson-Schaefer Insurance Agency in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and rebranded them as Bell Insurance.[26]

Bell Bank opened its Chandler, Ariz., branch in January, 2019.

Bell opened its first full-service bank branch in Arizona—in the city of Chandler, Arizona—in 2019,[27] and its second in Phoenix – Biltmore in 2020.[28]

In 2020, Bell expanded into Forest Lake, Minn.,[29] and Duluth, Minn., renovating and occupying the downtown Temple Opera Building.[30]

In 2021, Bell opened a branch in downtown Minneapolis' City Center[31] and announced its entrance into the Denver market.[32] Bell also announce its purchase of a 12-story building at 520 Main Ave. in downtown Fargo, which will be remodeled in 2022 and reopen in 2023 as Bell's new headquarters.[33] The same year, Bell entered a 10-year naming rights partnership with Legacy Sports USA and Oak View Group for Bell Bank Park, a 320-acre, multipurpose sports and entertainment complex in Mesa, Ariz.[34]

In 2022, Bell finalized its building lease for a new mortgage servicing center in Owensboro, Ky.[35] Bell also opened its first loan production office in Denver, focused on commercial lending.[36]

Bell has a 5-star rating from Bauer Financial, an independent bank research firm. Based on financial data from federal regulators, a 5-star rating, the highest rating the firm awards, means a bank is financially sound and is operating well above its capital requirements.[37]

The company plans to remain privately owned.[38]

Leadership

Bell Bank President and CEO Michael Solberg speaks to employees.

Michael Solberg is Bell Bank's president, and the third CEO in the company's history.[39] He was named CEO in 2014, succeeding his father, Richard Solberg, who had been CEO since 1982.[40]

Michael Solberg was named chief operating officer in 2004 and president in 2009.[41] He started with the company in 1998 after graduating from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and William Mitchell College of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota.[42] He grew up in Finley, North Dakota, and Fargo.[43]

Richard Solberg is the board chairman and a company shareholder.[44] The bank is owned by about 70 shareholders, with a majority stake held by the families of Richard Solberg, Michael Solberg, Julie Snortland and Laura Snortland Fairfield.[45] Other major shareholders have included Thomas "Buck" Snortland[46] and his son, Thomas "Mickey" Snortland, both farmers from Sharon, North Dakota.[47]

Thomas "Mickey" Snortland, who was also a longtime director of the bank, died in 2013 of an apparent heart attack.[48]

Before working for what was then State Bank of Fargo, Richard Solberg was president of Citizens State Bank in Finley, where he grew up. He also graduated from Concordia College.[49] Under Richard Solberg's leadership, the bank grew from a single location with $28 million in assets to 20 branches in North Dakota and Minnesota with more than $3 billion in assets.[50] In 2022, Richard Solberg received the Legacy Leader Award from the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce [51]

NorthWestern Financial Review named Richard and Michael Solberg Bankers of the Year in 2012.[52]

Additional executive leadership includes: Patrick Chaffee, EVP/banking, wealth management & insurance,[53] Todd Lee, EVP/banking & commercial lending administration,[54] Laine Brantner, EVP/chief operating officer, Julie Peterson Klein, EVP/chief of staff and chief culture officer,[55] Tony Weick, EVP/Bell Bank Mortgage president,[56] Lynn Johnson, EVP/retail banking,[57] Jon Aarsvold, EVP/chief credit officer, [58] Jenny Senecal, EVP/deputy chief credit officer[59] Blake Nelson, EVP/chief financial officer,[60] Gary Inman, EVP/information systems manager, and Jesse Schwab, EVP/chief risk officer.[61]

Company culture

Several media outlets, including USA Today, People magazine and the BBC have written stories about Bell Bank's culture.[62] Bell's mission statement is Happy Employees! Happy Customers![63] Michael Solberg says the bank's growth and profits are due to the way the company treats its employees.[64] In 2016, Bell announced it would make an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) part of employees' retirement benefits.[65] A portion of each employee's retirement funds will be invested in State Bankshares stock.[66]

Pay It Forward program

Part of Bell Bank's culture is its Pay It Forward program, which Michael Solberg started in 2007.[79] The program gives full-time employees $1,000 and part-time employees $500 each year to give to people and organizations in need. Bell has given more than $22 million in employee-driven charitable giving since launching.[80] Julie Peterson Klein heads the Pay It Forward program.[81]

Community outreach

In 2022, Bell launched a “Big Blue Bus” that will bring banking, mortgage and financial planning resources into neighborhoods throughout the company’s geographic area.[82] Bell also co-hosted a “shark tank” style accelerator called Get Down to Business with The Get Down Coffee Co. and Neighborhood Development Center at the 3M Open, where they gave away $100,000 to three diverse entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. The grants were funded by Bell Bank and 3M Open Fund and facilitated by Neighborhood Development Center.[83]
