Western State Bank in Fargo

If you’re ready for a new bank, we’re your hometown alternative. We’ve proudly served Fargo since 2007 and have remained true to our North Dakota roots since we were founded in 1902.

With Western, you get more than excellent account benefits and customer service. Our Lil’ Buckaroo Club teaches kids about savings and puts on family-friendly events throughout the year. Our popular Good Neighbor Club offers account benefits and exclusive events for members ages 50 or better. And our Hometown Heroes program recognizes our friends and neighbors who serve the community every day.

Our Fargo bank is just off of 45th Street South, next to the Osgood Hornbacher's grocery store.

Personal Banker

"Our family has been banking at Western for three generations now. I’ve been here over 40 years. During that time, a relationship of mutual trust has been built, and I feel very comfortable here at Western. I like the fact that I personally know most everyone. Western has always worked with us as our farm and family have grown."

Terry (James & Jon) Haman, Crary, ND

"Our organization was drawn to Western's local roots, friendly service, competitive rates, and low fees. Western shares our commitment to the community, and they support our kids and families in so many ways. We're very happy we switched!"

Bob Holman, Devils Lake Youth Activities

"This is the type of banking relationship a business hopes to achieve with its banker. We look forward to a long-term relationship with Western State Bank."

Clinton O. Shreeve, LC Jacobson & Company
