Over the last couple of decades, there has been a significant and encouraging rise in women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders. Despite this increase, women are still an underserved market when it comes to banking. At Bridgewater Bank, we are dedicated to filling that gap.

We understand that when women succeed, the whole business community benefits. Empowering women is not only something we are uniquely passionate about – it’s an area we excel in.

And as we partner with incredible women like you across the Twin Cities, one thing is clear: women leaders and women bankers are a powerful duo who can knock down barriers, break glass ceilings, and transform the Twin Cities business community together.  

So, what sets Bridgewater apart when it comes to serving women in business?

Empowering Women is in of our DNA

Both business and banking have been largely male-dominated areas for much of history. This is changing. At Bridgewater, over half of our team and managers are women, a rare thing to find in the banking industry. So, it should come as no surprise that we believe in women in business.

We can testify to how the presence of women in male-dominated fields provides valuable perspectives, drives innovation, boosts creativity, breaks down stereotypes, and empowers young women to dream bigger and chase careers in any field. This understanding fuels our unwavering commitment to walk alongside women entrepreneurs and business leaders as they make a difference.

Women Bankers Who Understand Women’s Distinct Needs

It’s always important for bankers and entrepreneurs to understand one another. And, many times, women are left feeling unseen and misunderstood. That’s why the connection between women bankers and women leaders is so powerful. It’s a relationship built on a shared understanding of the challenges women in business face, and a strong belief in her potential. This creates a safe space to dream, strategize, and build together.

An unconscious bias still exists that businesses are run by men, and the same stereotype can be found in banking. Yet, as women entrepreneurs and leaders like you rewrite that narrative each day, our impressive women bankers are doing the same.

Intentional Networking Opportunities for Women in Business

As entrepreneurs ourselves, we know that a strong network can be a game-changer for success. The right connections not only open doors to opportunities but also provide the support, camaraderie, and inspiration every woman in business needs to navigate the path forward.

That’s why we’re intentional about creating opportunities for our women clients to forge powerful connections and learn and grow together. Our women clients appreciate Bridgewater’s robust network that provides support and fuels success.

The Tools Women Need to Succeed

At Bridgewater, being a catalyst for women’s success means equipping them with the right tools, expertise, and responsive support they need to achieve their goals. It means taking the time to understand their story, challenges, and goals and then combining our vast experience and knowledge of the local market with tailored solutions that meet their unique financial needs and move their dreams forward.

From flexible lending options to a full suite of treasury management solutions, we provide the products and services you need to succeed at each stage of your personal and professional journey.

We believe that women bankers and women entrepreneurs are a powerful duo and, together, make a positive impact that paves the way for future generations of women.
