New Traverse City Office
NOW OPEN!
Our new Traverse City office is now open at 862 Garfield Avenue at Centre Street. The three-level, 17,575-square-foot facility will serve as the bank’s principal office and will be home to more than 50 employees. The bank will maintain its current branch location on Front Street in downtown Traverse City.
The new Garfield branch provides customers with full-service banking, including two drive-thru lanes, a 24-hour drive-up ATM, an after-hours depository, and plenty of convenient parking. It also houses the bank’s business banking, mortgage lending, consumer lending, administration and operations teams.
“We’ve always been a community bank. While we continue to invest in the digital banking solutions customers expect, we know a lot of our customers still want a physical location. Somewhere they can meet face-to face, or do their banking via a drive-thru or drive-up ATM,” said Dan Druskovich, Regional President. “This building is very convenient for our customers, and it shows our continued commitment to the Grand Traverse area.”
The new Garfield retail branch will be run by Jim Richardson, who brings 27 years of management experience to his new position. Richardson has also been promoted to regional manager for Traverse City and Suttons Bay.

State Savings Bank has announced plans for a new Traverse City office. When it opens, the three-level facility will serve as the bank’s principal office and will be home to more than 50 employees.
State Savings Bank’s new Traverse City office will be located on the corner of Garfield Avenue and Centre Street, next to Aspire North (formerly known as the Traverse Area Association of Realtors). An existing building on the site has been demolished to make room for the new 17,575-square-foot facility.
“We’ve always been a community bank. While we continue to invest in the digital banking solutions customers expect, we know a lot of our customers still want a physical location. Somewhere they can meet face-to face, or do their banking via a drive-thru or drive-up ATM,” said Dan Druskovich, Regional President. “This building will be very convenient for our customers, and it shows our continued commitment to the Grand Traverse area.”
When the new bank office opens, it will provide customers with full-service banking, including two drive-thru lanes, a 24-hour drive-up ATM, an after-hours depository, and plenty of convenient parking. It will also house the bank’s business banking, mortgage lending, consumer lending, administration and operations teams.
An official groundbreaking will take place later this month. Progress can be followed at ssbankmi.com/NewSSBankTraverseCity or via the hashtag #NewSSBankTraverseCity.
State Savings Bank is a community bank established in northern Michigan in 1896. The bank has offices in Traverse City, Empire, Suttons Bay, Frankfort, Beulah and Gaylord and loan centers in Big Rapids, Caro and Houghton Lake. The bank is known for its refreshing “Yes, I can!” approach to customer service.
