Border Bank is pleased to announce the addition of Dana Kinde as Senior Vice President, Business Banker, serving clients from the bank's Coon Rapids location.
With more than 20 years of commercial lending experience, Kinde has built a strong reputation for partnering with business owners, investors, and developers to structure financing solutions that drive growth and long term success. She is a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking in Madison, Wisconsin and is known for her relationship focused, high touch approach to serving clients.
"Building strong relationships is at the heart of everything I do," said Dana Kinde. "I enjoy getting to know business owners, understanding their goals, and uncovering opportunities through meaningful conversations. Joining Border Bank allows me to bring that personalized, local approach to even more businesses across the Twin Cities. I'm excited to grow alongside our clients and help them succeed."
Kinde's addition strengthens Border Bank's ability to serve businesses with local decision making, responsive service, and deep community insight. Her commitment to community involvement is equally notable-she volunteers with several local organizations, serves on boards and committees and remains deeply engaged in efforts that enhance the communities she serves.
Border Bank President Erik Hegg expressed enthusiasm about Kinde joining the leadership team.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dana to Border Bank," said Hegg. "Her depth of experience, her passion for building relationships, and her commitment to community service align perfectly with our values. Dana brings a level of expertise and heart that will greatly benefit our clients and our Coon Rapids team."
