Charter Bank WI MN is a small regional bank in the financial services sector, based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with a footprint that spans Wisconsin and Minnesota. Its client base consists of local individuals and businesses seeking traditional, community-focused banking services provided by a smaller institution. The bank has pursued growth through mergers and branch activity, including expanding into Barron County by acquiring a Chetek branch in 2020 and a 2019 merger with Citizens Holding Company that led to integration into Citizens Bank. In 2022, Charter Bank merged with Bankmbank, and there were plans to merge with Nicolet Bank, with leadership expected to stay in place in Wisconsin and the Twin Cities. Today that entity operates under the Nicolet National Bank banner, reflecting the consolidation with Charter Bank into a larger regional bank. The change preserves a locally oriented service presence while leveraging mergers and partnerships to broaden its footprint in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
