Our roots run deep in Urban Minneapolis.

In 1961, Franklin National Bank was founded. We opened our doors on the corner of LaSalle and Franklin, in this beautiful limestone building built in 1899. The building was a home of splendor to many prominent Minneapolis families over the years, complete with a third floor ballroom. The bank enjoyed its years in the italian provincial building, until it relocated nearby to a new building in 1973. Today, that office at 2100 Blaisdell Ave. So. remains a cornerstone of our business. In January 2002, we celebrated our expansion into the Warehouse District/North Loop community. This new headquarters allows us to bring our services closer to Downtown and North Minneapolis communities.

We are proud to support the exciting growth and revitalization of urban Minneapolis!
