Shawn was extremely knowledgeable. He took his time and explained everything in detail. He took out some brochures and told me about some of the different accounts, both checking and savings. He pointed out the features and the benefits of each and made sure I understood him clearly. He was very friendly and helpful.

The thing I like about The Bank of Elk River is that you don't feel like an account number - you feel like you're family. I know if I need equipment, a building addition, or whatever else, the bank is there to support me.

"It's been 12 years now since the Bank of Elk River and Distinctive Iron started their relationship. It continues to have a family sense and professional business sense all at the same time. While everyone we work with is nothing short of amazing, we want to take this opportunity to recognize Neil Gagnon for his commitment to continually support us throughout those 12 years. From one employer to another, it always says a lot to have an employee that is devoted to his employer. However, we believe Neil loves what he does, and it shows in the customer service he provides to business and community. He keeps us in line with the documents we need to provide on a periodic basis. He helps us understand what the bank and the accountant are looking for in our books and why this or that is very important. He understands how to present us to your board so that we can all celebrate our accomplishments and what we need as a company for future support. We are always in it together and for that we are sincerely thankful for our relationship with Neil and the Bank of Elk River!"
