Equipment started moving into the future Forward Bank location in April 2024.
The ground has been broken for the new location of Forward Bank in Phillips, which will be at the corner of Hwy. 13 and County Road F. The construction of the new building has been planned to "be conscious of the surrounding natural resources, understanding neighboring business’ parking need, and to respect the DOT requirements on accessing Highway 13," according to Forward Bank.
The structure will be the home for the bank, insurance, and investment services. The new facility will have Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) technology, allowing for expanded self-serve transactions.
“We have been very purposeful in the selection of our new location and the design of the facility,” commented Bill Sennholz, CEO of Forward Bank. “The offices will allow for collaboration between bank, insurance, and investment team members to help our customers meet all their financial needs. It is set on a beautiful lot that will allow customers to enjoy the views as much as we do.”
