NorthWestern Financial Review delivers via print, and now the web, thought-provoking coverage of the commercial banking industry in the Upper Midwest. We focus on the people, ideas, and trends that make community banking so vibrant. Look to our magazine for in-depth features, expert guest opinion, thorough convention and conference coverage, dialogue with industry leaders, and commentary from long-time editor Tom Bengtson.

The NorthWestern Financial Review blog now gives our editorial team the opportunity to go deeper into coverage of industry issues. We can also be more timely when news breaks between magazine publishing dates.

We specifically cover banking in these states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. We also cover developments in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere that affect the entire industry.

NorthWestern Financial Review offers a look at the best of community banking; we tell stories about what works – the new products, marketing campaigns, technology breakthroughs, compliance procedures and investment strategies. We also give you the “who’s who” with the latest announcements about promotions and new hires.
