History
Bell Bank originated in 1966 as State Bank of Fargo, ND. Thomas “Buck” Snortland, one of the founders of State Bank of Fargo, was instrumental in helping set the tone for the company’s employee- and customer-friendly culture. From the early days, Bell Bank differentiated in a market where "bankers hours" restricted customer's access to banks. Bell kept their doors open for 64 hours per week, which was unheard of at the time, in order to best support customers around the clock. Bell Mortgage joined the organization in 2011 and is currently the largest privately owned mortgage company in the United States.
