History
In 2011, Minneapolis-based Bell Mortgage became a division of what was then State Bank & Trust, in a history-making venture for both companies. Bell Mortgage has literally been a part of Minnesota since the state's infancy. The oldest and largest independent mortgage banking company in Minnesota, it was founded in 1880 by early Minneapolis leader David C. Bell. Since then, Bell Mortgage has added locations throughout the Twin Cities and in Phoenix and has thousands of family mortgages to its name. In 2012, State Bank & Trust rebranded as Bell State Bank & Trust, taking on the Bell name to give a more unique identity to a known and respected regional brand. Bell State Bank & Trust and its Bell Mortgage division have developed large commercial and mortgage loan volumes in the Twin Cities, an area of anticipated future growth.
