Our History
Established in 1943, Highland Bank is an independent, family-owned, community bank. Highland Bank developed from the 1995 merger of two community banks chartered in the 1940s:
- Security Bank Northwest, with offices in St. Michael and Maple Grove.
- The Highland Bank, with offices in St. Paul and Bloomington.
Since the merger, Highland Bank purchased Ridgedale State Bank, adding a fifth branch in Minnetonka. Highland Bank has been owned by the Wall Family since the mid-1970s.
