If you’re searching for one of the best banks in Minnesota, especially as a small business owner, nonprofit leader, or individual looking for a highly ranked community bank, independent recognition matters.
To start 2026, Security Bank & Trust Co. has been recognized at both the state and national level for financial strength, customer satisfaction, and overall value. These rankings reinforce what our customers experience every day: local decisions, consistent execution, and a bank that is built to serve Minnesota communities, not manage them from afar.

5-Star Rating: America’s Best Regional Banks & Credit Unions 2026
- We also earned a 5-Star rating from Newsweek in its America’s Best Regional Banks & Credit Unions 2026 list. This national recognition is based on independent research, consumer surveys, and customer feedback, measuring both financial performance and customer satisfaction.
Together, these recognitions place Security Bank & Trust Co. among the highest-rated community and regional banks serving Minnesota.
Why These Rankings Matter If You’re Leaving a Large Bank
Many Minnesota businesses and individuals come to us after feeling stuck at a large national bank. The issue is rarely products or technology. It’s usually about decision-making, responsiveness, and trust.
These recognitions signal that Security Bank & Trust Co. delivers:
- Local decision-making by people who understand Minnesota businesses and communities
- Strong financial health and stability, validated by independent third parties
- High customer satisfaction, driven by real relationships and follow-through
- Consistency, not teaser rates or call-center banking
For customers, this means fewer handoffs, clearer answers, and a banking relationship that actually works when timing and execution matter.
A Community Bank Built for Minnesota
Security Bank & Trust Co. is a locally focused community bank serving Minnesota businesses, families, municipalities, and nonprofits. We combine modern banking tools with something larger institutions often lose at scale: accountability.
We don’t chase hot money.
We don’t outsource decisions.
We don’t rotate relationship managers every year.
Our growth comes from long-term relationships with Minnesotans who value stability, clarity, and a bank that can move when it counts.
Building on a Strong Track Record
This 2026 recognition builds on momentum from 2025, when Security Bank & Trust Co. was also recognized for excellence in business banking, commercial lending, and wealth management at the state level.
Year after year, independent rankings continue to point to the same conclusion: Security Bank & Trust Co. is one of the most trusted and highly ranked banks in Minnesota. Our 2025 awards and recognitions reflect this notion.
Choosing a Bank Is a Long-Term Decision
If you’re a small business owner, operator, or individual in Minnesota evaluating where to bank, rankings like these provide a helpful signal. But what matters most is how a bank shows up when you need a decision, a structure, or a partner you can rely on.
That’s the work we do every day.
If you’re looking for a top-ranked community bank in Minnesota and considering a move away from a large national institution, we’d be glad to talk.
