You would prefer not to have your money handled by people who call our beautiful Midwest “flyover country.” You would also prefer to keep your money where it benefits you most: in your community. But you don’t want to go without all the features and amenities that are usually associated with national bank chains. What do you do?
If you live in Eden Prairie, MN, then the answer to that gripping hypothetical is simple: Open a personal bank account at First Western Bank & Trust. You’ll get all the financial products you need no matter your walk of life. You’ll get all the experience that comes with 60 years in business. You’ll get all the neighborly service you’d expect from a bank that exclusively serves Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, too!
First Western Bank & Trust’s 19 locations throughout the tri-state area offer everything you need to bank the way you live.
Checking & Savings Accounts - With money market, personal savings, and four different types of checking accounts to choose from, the way you plan and save is under your control. All checking accounts come with BaZing benefits including roadside assistance, cell phone protection, and hotel, car rental and restaurant deals.
Health Savings Accounts - Save for expected and unexpected medical expenses. If you qualify for an HSA, your contributions, interest and withdrawals won’t be taxed when they pay for qualified medical expenses. Any funds that aren’t used roll over and continue to grow.
CDs & IRAs - First Western Bank & Trust offers secure ways to save. Open a 12-month certificate of deposit with as little as $2,500, or invest in your child’s future with an educational CD. Looking even further ahead into the future? Open a traditional or ROTH IRA that will bankroll your retirement.
Credit Cards - Plastic, not paper! Earn points for each dollar you spend with your Platinum VISA credit card. Pay no annual fee with your Relationship credit card. And if you’re fortunate enough to call NDSU your alma mater, then you can shop with pride using the official credit card of the Bison.

“Many people only associate our bank with business banking solutions,” said Peter Haugen, consumer lending officer for First Western Bank & Trust. “To their credit, we have heavily focused on our commercial and agricultural services in the past – but our consumer lending and other financial products are becoming increasingly popular in the communities we were founded to serve.
“We’re looking forward to growing our personal banking services in Eden Prairie even further, and welcome any member of our community to come meet us at 100 Prairie Center Drive today!”
