At American Bank & Trust, growth isn’t just about buildings — it’s about people, purpose, and the communities we serve. That’s why the grand opening of our brand-new branch in Tea, SD was more than a ribbon-cutting. It was a celebration of connection, commitment, and community spirit.
From June 23–27, we invited customers and neighbors to join us for a weeklong par-tea (yes, we went there!) filled with extended hours, exciting giveaways, and a chance to explore our new space. Guests toured the modern branch, opened accounts, entered raffles, and experienced firsthand what “New Look. Same Heart.” truly means.
Though our presence in Tea began in 2023, this new building marks a deeper investment in the future of the community — one built on trust, service, and shared growth. With expanded hours, an enhanced team, and the same friendly faces, we’re here to help Tea thrive.
As a family-owned community bank founded in South Dakota in 1886, American Bank & Trust has grown to serve customers across 20 branches in South Dakota, Minnesota, and North Dakota. But no matter how much we grow, our mission remains the same: to enable our customers and communities to grow and meet their wealth goals by delivering quality financial solutions with great leadership.
This grand opening was a reflection of our values in action:
- Integrity in how we serve and support
- Compassion in how we connect with our communities
- Teamwork in how we build something meaningful — together
We’re proud to call Tea home and even prouder to be part of its future. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate. If you haven’t stopped by yet, we’d love to welcome you at 801 Gateway Lane — where banking is personal, purposeful, and always rooted in community.
