There’s a reason people dream about owning land in Wisconsin. Weekends with family, fall mornings in the deer stand, quiet streams for fishing…the kind of peace you can’t buy in town.

If you’re looking at hunting land in Wisconsin (or are thinking about refinancing land you already own), Ergo Bank can help. Our team of lenders is passionate about the same thing you are—spending time in the great outdoors. Learn more: https://ow.ly/cKXj50YP4jr

That first paycheck after graduation feels different than the others.

And the “student” bank account that worked for part‑time jobs and occasional spending? It may not fit anymore.

First paychecks. New bills. A lot more responsibility.

We break down what high school and college graduates, and the families cheering them on, should look for in a first real checking account.

Read the blog to see what to consider as grads move forward:

Today is National Senior Fraud Awareness Day, and we’re here to provide you with a few tips for keeping yourself—and your loved ones—fraud-free.

Scammers often target older adults with schemes that are designed to feel urgent and trustworthy. Here are 3 quick tips:

1. Treat one-time passcodes like passwords; never share them!
2. If someone tells you that your money is at risk and instructs you to move it to a “safe account,” stop. That’s a common fraud tactic.
3. If a call or text feels off, hang up and call back using a trusted number, such as the one on the back of your debit/credit card, your bank statement, or the official website.

In Wisconsin, farming runs on timing—planting, inputs, harvest, reinvestment. Your financing should match that rhythm.

At Ergo Bank, we offer financing solutions to fit all your needs, such as operating loans, lines of credit, equipment loans, livestock loans, and land loans—plus specialty programs in conjunction with the Farm Service Agency. Check out these two programs:

🚜 Beginning Farmer Program: ideal for new farmers who need financial support to build and grow their operations
🚜 50-50 Program: ideal for established farmers looking for additional financial support to expand or improve their operations where 50% of the loan is provided by the FSA and the other 50% by Ergo Bank

Are you looking to build or expand? Let us know how we can help.
