Explore over a century of history, photos and heartfelt stories with Gate City Bank, dating back to the day we first opened our doors in downtown Fargo, ND.
A New Frontier
Gate City opened its doors in 1923, becoming a pioneer in the Gateway to the West.
Hope in Hard Times
After a decade of growth, the bank stood strong with our communities, facing challenges together – from droughts to the Great Depression.
Support at Home & Abroad
At the dawn of World War II, more than 58,000 North Dakotans enlisted. Upon their return home, businesses – and the American dream of homeownership – began to boom.
Growing Together
As our communities grew, so did Gate City – expanding with new locations throughout the region.
Building Something Better
Gate City continued to grow, opening branches statewide and adding more offerings for our customers.
Back to Our Roots
After briefly expanding into Utah and South Carolina, Gate City returned to our ND roots with renewed focus on serving our local communities.
Weathering the Storms
Despite the challenges of a recession and rising regulations, Gate City continued working tirelessly to serve customers – becoming the first in the state to offer adjustable-rate mortgages.
Leading Locally
As the only mutually owned bank in North Dakota, Gate City maintained local control – allowing us to focus on long-term programs and invest profits back into the communities we serve.
The Sweetest Culture
Gate City Bank grew to 30 locations, becoming widely known for our exemplary customer service and fun culture – oh, and the best cookies in town.
Forward Thinking
In addition to making the most of new technologies, the bank continued leading the way with community giving and innovative programs, such as our BetterLife™ Student Loan – the first and only program of its kind in the nation.
Onward and Upward
In the face of an unprecedented pandemic, the bank discovered new ways to go above and beyond for our customers. And now, with 45 locations in ND and central MN, it’s just getting better.
