关于我们
At Forte Bank, our goal is to enhance your opportunities for financial success and safeguard your assets. That was our goal when we opened our doors in 1907, and it still rings true today. We offer solutions for both personal and business customers, including deposit products, a full-range of mortgage loans, business loans and lines of credit, and investment services. We also work with home buying grant programs that many banks don’t. We have full-service locations in Hartford, Slinger and Richfield, and we meet the needs of customers throughout Washington County, and in Dodge, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties. As an independent community bank, we believe we are responsible for supporting our local businesses, associations and community projects. We maintain personal relationships with our customers and view every interaction as an opportunity to do something good for that person and our community — whether that’s helping someone get into their first home, opening a savings account for a young saver, helping a new business take off, or donating our resources for a worthy community cause. Banking at a community bank means that you’re making your community a better place to live and work for generations to come. Forte Bank is your community bank, your opportunity bank.
