Testimonials:

“I’ve been banking with United Community Bank for over 20 years (both personal and business), and every experience has been pleasant and helpful.”

-Keith, business customer

 

“My experience with United Community Bank has been nothing less than outstanding.  Our lender, Andy Eckhoff, was extremely thorough and accommodating in helping my husband and I finance our vacation property.  We enjoyed working with him and will definitely be contacting him should we have any additional financing needs!”

-Tracy, business customer

 

“We enjoyed working with lender Ryan Rustad because he is a high character, knowledgeable, trustworthy individual. Ryan made the business financing process quick, easy, and stress-free. As owners of a small business, and parents to four children, we don’t have an excess of time so we appreciate a small-town bank’s ability to make things happen in a timely, efficient manner.”

-Ryan, business customer

“Thank you so much for helping us realize a dream! We are thrilled to be in Perham and Gathering Grounds is heaven, you changed our lives!”
