This morning, we had the opportunity to meet with Tom Klapperich and Amanda Cink from MBT Bank. Tom spoke to us about the importance of mission statements and core values, explaining how they help set a business apart from its competitors. We learned about online security, fraud prevention, and how MBT handles different types of scams. Students matched common financial scams to the correct definitions.

MBT Bank originally started in Forest City, Iowa. In the 2000's, the bank began experiencing significant growth. Today MBT has six locations throughout Minnesota and is adding another location in Albert Lea this year.

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and share with us more about the banking industry!
