During the past three years, 130-year-old Bank First has significantly expanded its market presence and geographic reach, primarily through strategic mergers with Hometown Bank and Denmark State Bank, says CEO Mike Molepske.
Now with 26 locations throughout Wisconsin, Molepske says the bank’s “emphasis on building personal relationships has been a cornerstone of our growth strategy.”
Bank First measures its success through the growth of Earnings Per Share (EPS), which Molepske says has seen consistent and robust growth during the past three, five and 10 years, compounding at rates of 13.0, 18.0, and 13.4%, respectively.
