Tax, Insure, Invest Forward and Forward Foundation all under one roof
Karen Buskness and Tiffany Paulson are just two of the friendly faces greeting patrons at Bank Forward's Carrington office, which is located at the corner of Main Street and 5th Avenue.
With 13 locations and over 240 employees, Bank Forward might seem like a "big city" bank, but Scott Tweed, Ag Loan Officer for the Carrington branch, wants to assure residents that they are a "community bank" focusing on strengthening the community and placing prosperity of customers as their highest priority.
Bank Forward started as a small business in the tiny town of Hannaford in 1927 called Security State Bank. With only $25,000 in assets, they have grown to over 1 billion in assets since their conception.
Tweed said he wants residents to know that
