As a result of the formal merger of our two sister companies, Chad will help WoodTrust Bank create an even more seamless client experience as we strive to continue our emphasis on high quality financial products and customer service.”
WoodTrust Bank began operations in Wisconsin Rapids in 1891 and now serves over $1.1 billion in client assets.
