Security State Bank of Marine
The Marine Bank was established in May 1919. The little bank that was molded from the rubble of a bank failure is now over 100 years old. It's a success story built on the strength of a loyal and growing customer base and best banking steps that have led to the establishment of branch offices in Scandia, Lindstrom and Forest Lake.
Security State Bank customers can still receive the friendly, personal service that became its bread and butter 100 years ago or bank remotely through internet services that rival any national bank. It also boosts a handy ATM!
