Dear Readers,
Like many, many of you, I have been banking at the Bremer Bank in Colfax (& it’s predecessor Peoples State Bank) all my life. It was my first bank account & I have maintained connection ever since, even when living elsewhere, then while taking care of my parents estate, Rev. Ole & Clara Vettrus, & now while owning their home in Colfax. The service has been personal & cordial! You know who you are banking with.
Bank members just got a “notice” (no inquiry of our concerns BEFOREHAND!) that the Bremer Bank in Colfax is closing in November. This is not all right to me or many others who will be inconvenienced greatly (think of the senior members of our community!), with no other alternative in town except the one that says “banking on relationships” while they charge higher fees on certain transactions, which was my experience in Prairie Farm, where I live.
This is the time to gather a petition together to present to the chief executives in Bremer to tell of our own deep displeasure. I have talked with bank workers, who are also dismayed at not being able to work & serve LOCALLY!
It sounds like SOME in Bremer Bank organization do not value their many, many faithful customers. I would only guess this has something to do with more money for some on the “top” of the Bremer organization, though they have been community players in the past!
It’s time to take action, & I for one would want to speak my voice & I am sure there are many others in Colfax & surrounding areas. My phone number is 715-455-1936. Feel free to call me or email at [email protected].
Thank you.
