Thief River Falls, MN - Border Bank is pleased to share an update on the ongoing renovation of its Thief River Falls branch. As announced last fall, this project is designed to modernize the building's interior and exterior, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the overall customer and employee experience-all while maintaining the current footprint of the facility.
The project has been progressing smoothly, and the bank is now preparing to begin Phase 2, scheduled from April 13 through mid-summer. During this phase, construction activity will focus on the remaining interior areas of the branch.
To ensure continued service throughout this period, all teller services will be provided through the drive-through, and the lobby will be temporarily closed for teller transactions. Other on-site banking services will remain available; however, we ask customers to enter the bank through our back door and excuse our mess as we work to improve the space. Our hours of operation remain the same:
"We appreciate the patience and support of our customers as we work toward creating a revitalized and more efficient banking environment," said Tony McLean, President of Border Bank in Thief River Falls. "Our goal remains the same-to wisely invest in improvements that benefit our employees, our customers, and the Thief River Falls community for years to come."
Border Bank looks forward to continuing to serve customers throughout the renovation and to unveiling the updated space upon project completion.
Founded in 1935, Border Bank has grown into a trusted financial partner with eleven branches across North Dakota and Minnesota. In addition to the Thief River Falls location, Border Bank has eight other locations throughout MN-including Coon Rapids, Greenbush, Roseau, Badger, Middle River, Clearbrook, Baudette, and International Falls, and two locations in Fargo, North Dakota. Border Bank remains deeply rooted in the communities it serves.
In addition to its banking services, Border Bank proudly owns Northern Ag, an insurance agency dedicated to strengthening the financial security of American farmers. Through innovative risk management tools, Northern Ag helps agricultural producers navigate uncertainty and protect what matters most.
