BND’s mission statement has not changed since its inception in 1919: To deliver quality, sound financial services that promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota.
This statement provides the foundation and parameters for all of the Bank’s activities. As any new effort by BND is considered, the mission statement is the guide to ensure the Bank is on the right track.
BND’s vision statement provides an updated perspective on the Bank’s role in North Dakota: Bank of North Dakota is an agile partner that creates financial solutions for current and emerging economic needs.
Key stakeholders include state agencies, political subdivisions, legislative committees, economic developers, high schools, postsecondary education providers and financial institution. BND prides itself on keeping its ear to the ground, continuously assessing the landscape and asking questions to understand if there is a new need the Bank should address. Frequently, already established loan programs are flexible enough to address the issues. If not, BND rolls up its sleeves to create and implement the new program. Some of these require legislative approval while others do not.
