Viking Bank to open branch on Bainbridge
Viking Bank is pleased to announce that it will be opening a loan production office on Bainbridge Island shortly, with plans to convert the office into a full-service branch in the Fall of this year.

The new Bainbridge office, to be located at 945 Hildebrand, Suite 240, will initially house mortgage loan consultants Judith Felder and KristiAnn Stecker as well as commercial relationship manager Ed Forman.

Opening in the fall, the full-service retail branch will include an ATM, drive thru and community conference room.

Well-known Bainbridge mortgage banker Carolyn Frame, President and Owner of CFA NW Mortgage Professionals is excited to welcome Viking Bank to Bainbridge Island.  “CFA has had a strong banking relationship with Viking Bank for quite some time; Doug Stephenson, Helen Ralph, and Andrew Torres really care about their business clients and the community they serve,” she said. “They are truly a neighborhood bank that takes the time to get to know their customers and their banking needs. I am honored to be on their advisory board.”

Viking Bank offers full business banking services to the greater Puget Sound business community through six branches in Ballard, Bellevue, Tacoma, Fife, Poulsbo and South Seattle.
