For more than 135 years, Bell Bank Mortgage has been helping people make the American dream of home ownership come true. Bell ... Mortgage was founded in 1880 by early Minneapolis leader David C. Bell and grew to become the state's oldest and largest independent mortgage company. In 2011, Bell Mortgage became part of what was then State Bank & Trust, and in 2012, the bank took on the Bell name, giving a more unique identity to a known and respected regional brand. Bell Bank Mortgage is known for exceptional service and high integrity, making today’s loan experience a simple and smooth process all the way through to closing.
