For Associate Members
Build Relationships. Share Expertise. Be Part of the Community.
If your organization serves community banks, you know relationships matter. BankIn Minnesota Associate Membership gives you opportunities to build those relationships with bankers across Minnesota – not by simply putting your name in front of them, but by becoming part of the community they already know and trust.
Through BankIn, you can meet bankers and industry leaders, build familiarity with your organization, better understand the challenges community banks are facing, and demonstrate the value you can bring to their businesses. The more involved you become, the more opportunities you have to develop the kind of trusted relationships that can lead to business over time.
This is your starting point for exploring Associate Membership and finding more ways to connect, get involved, and make the most of it.
Connect with Minnesota's Community Banking Industry
BankIn Minnesota Associate Membership is designed for companies that provide products and services to community banks and want to build stronger connections within the industry.
Membership gives your organization opportunities to connect directly with bankers through conferences, education programs, networking events, and other BankIn activities. You'll also gain added visibility, access to member-only opportunities, and ways to demonstrate your commitment to the community banking industry.

Make the Most of Your Membership
Relationships Are the Opportunity
Associate Membership can put you in the room. What makes that access valuable is what happens next.
Community bankers do business with people they know and trust. BankIn gives you repeated opportunities to develop those relationships – by participating in events and conversations, learning what matters to bankers, sharing useful expertise, and becoming a familiar presence within the community.
It doesn't happen overnight. But consistent, meaningful involvement can turn introductions into relationships, relationships into trust, and trust into opportunities for your business.
"Associate Membership is really about the relationships you develop. You can sit at a table and wait for someone to ask you about your product, but I've found it's much more valuable to get out, talk to people, and take the time to genuinely get to know them.
I've been involved with BankIn for several years, and those relationships have led to business, but they've also led to real friendships. Community bankers are great people, and the more you show up and get involved, the more you become part of that community. You really do get out of your membership what you put into it."

Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship can give your organization additional visibility with the community banking audience while supporting the programs and experiences that bring members together.
Opportunities throughout the year allow you to align your company with BankIn conferences, education programs, networking events, and other initiatives – complementing the relationships you’re building through membership with greater visibility for your organization.
The B Hive
BankIn relationships aren’t limited to in-person events. Associate Members have access to the B Hive, BankIn’s online member community, creating another way to stay connected and engaged throughout the year.
Follow what’s happening across BankIn, participate where appropriate, and stay connected to the community between opportunities to meet face to face.
