Bank of Luxemburg Opens Branch in Sturgeon Bay

Bank of Luxemburg will open a new branch in Sturgeon Bay early in 2014. The new location will be the ninth for the bank and its first in Sturgeon Bay. This branch will meet the banking needs of the Sturgeon Bay area and provide extra convenience for local residents already using Bank of Luxemburg services.

The new branch is located at 519 S. Lansing Ave. It will open Jan. 13 and will complement the nearest neighboring Bank of Luxemburg in Forestville. It will be open Monday – Friday from 8 am to 5 pm and on Saturday from 9 am to noon.

Bank of Luxemburg began operation from downtown Luxemburg in 1903, providing services to Luxemburg and its surrounding communities. In 1987, the bank opened its first branch in the Dyckesville area and over the years has added branches in Green Bay, Casco and Algoma.

Bank of Luxemburg President John Slatky stated, “We are not necessarily looking to expand, we just notice opportunities in communities that seem to be looking for an institution that is very community focused. Our employees live in the communities and participate in the community events,” he explained. “When Greg Stephan was hired by the bank in March, we saw an opportunity to expand our presence in Door County.”

Greg Stephan, vice president of commercial lending for the new Sturgeon Bay location, brings many years of banking experience in Door County. Greg’s experience – along with the bank’s local loan approval process – will make Bank of Luxemburg an attractive option for both individuals and businesses in Sturgeon Bay.

“I am very happy to be a part of a local community Bank,” Stephan proclaimed. “When I joined the Bank of Luxemburg staff I became aware of their many customers in Sturgeon Bay and the surrounding communities. All of these local customers make adding the Sturgeon Bay office a natural extension and I am pleased to be a part of that staff. I hope my 40-plus years of banking experience in Door County will help to serve the people of Door County. I invite everyone to stop into our newest banking office to see what a difference it makes to bank with us,” said Stephan.

Stephan will be joined by a full staff of knowledgeable banking professionals, some whom he’s worked with previously and many from the Sturgeon Bay area, such as Retail Sales Office Manager Barbara Pfeifer and Loan Sales Officer Leann Nguyen. Both have extensive banking experience in the Door County area.
