Sentry Bank is a community bank, independently owned and operated by local businessmen throughout Central Minnesota. We changed our name in 2011 to Sentry Bank from First State Bank of St Joseph, in which we are still trying to create brand awareness with the name change. Sentry Bank went from one to four locations in two years after acquiring St Stephen State Bank in 2010 and purchasing the St Cloud location of Sherburne State Bank in 2012. Sentry Bank is  a full service bank, offering a competitive advantage with our experienced commercial lenders. We are an SBA Preferred Lender.
