Banking built around you — not the other way around.
We started Palisade Bank because we were tired of banking that made customers work around the bank's fees, hours, and paperwork. So we built something different: modern accounts, transparent pricing, and real people on the other end of the line.
Founded on a simple frustration.
Palisade Bank was founded by a small team of bankers and engineers who kept hearing the same complaint from friends and family: banking felt like it was designed for the bank's convenience, not theirs. Hidden fees. Branch hours that never matched a workday. Hold music instead of help.
We set out to build the account we wished we had — fee-free by default, fast by design, and backed by people who actually pick up the phone. Today Palisade serves individuals, families, and businesses across the country, all from the same simple promise: banking should work for you.

Behind every account is a real support team, available around the clock, not a phone tree.
Bankers and builders, working together.
