In 2016, retail banks in the U.S. experienced 4,251 robberies, an increase of 3.8 percent since 2015, according to the FBI’s Bank Crime Statistics report. In the 2016 robberies, while 4,210 of the facilities maintained surveillance cameras, the systems functioned in only 3,887 of them. As brick and mortar bank crime continues to grow, local banks aim to improve their security technology’s capabilities and reliability to address risk and support the community.

National Bank of Commerce serves the communities of the Twin Ports communities of northwest Wisconsin and northeast Minnesota, with six branches and one operations center. It has been a pillar of the community for more than 80 years. With some recent security updates, the bank is seeking to support community members and law enforcement partners as a better, more forward-thinking partner.
