North Shore Bank volunteers welcome guests during Wild Lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo
Between the beautiful weather we had in December and additional promotion and light displays, it was a banner year for Wild Lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo! This year, 43,917 people attended Wild Lights – a major increase from 24,748 in 2022!
North Shore Bank was a proud sponsor of the “Flamingle All the Way” area during the event in December and also sponsored “CHEERS!”, two nights reserved for adults with additional activities.
Thank you to all of our employee volunteers who welcomed zoo-goers, passed out complimentary hot chocolate, and snapped keepsake photos mentioning the bank’s 100th celebration during the event on December 7th and December 14th during “CHEERS!”, as well as a family-filled Saturday on December 9th.
Area Manager Ray Guardiola led the volunteer teams and says, “We could not have made it happen without all the support from the volunteers. Our volunteers did a fantastic job in bringing the Bank of You enthusiasm to all the attendees we interacted with. It was a great way to round off the end of our centennial year.”
Candy Cane Lane raises $194,000 for MACC Fund
North Shore Bank was a proud sponsor of Candy Cane Lane! We’re excited to share a whopping $194,000 was raised during the 2023 season for the MACC Fund – Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.
We are grateful to be part of this wonderful annual tradition and to have the support of our employee volunteers who came out to help kick-off the event on Friday, November 24th during North Shore Bank Night. It was another great community fundraiser!
Organizers of the event shared on Facebook, “THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to our neighbors, volunteers, visitors, and all who helped make this a phenomenal year! We have raised over $3 million in the fight against childhood cancer & related blood disorders, with nearly $700,000 being collected in the last 4 years alone. Thank you once again to our amazing, generous community!”

TELL YOUR CUSTOMERS
North Shore Bank rolls out new checking account lineup
We’re excited to announce a refreshed, simplified checking offering that customer will now experience, making it easier to filter through the options and select the account that fits them best! Effective January 3, 2024, North Shore Bank reduced the number of checking accounts in our lineup from 9 account types to 5 types. A new account called Premier Checking provides extra perks for our loyal customers. We will continue to offer Free, Free with Platinum, Student, and Balance Checking from our existing lineup.
With this change, we will no longer offer Platinum Perks, Perks with Platinum, 60+, or 60+ with Platinum Checking. Existing customers with those account types will not be affected by the change – only new accounts opened after January 3rd.
This change is based on competitive analysis, current account activity and changing customer needs. The new lineup helps us streamline options available for customers and makes the account opening process more straight-forward to improve our in-branch and online account opening experience. The new benefits associated with the Premier Checking account are more in-line with what customers are looking for from their bank – including two out-of-network ATM withdrawals per month and two no-purchase-fee gift cards per month. Our Premier Checking account has benefits that better meet the current interests and preferences of our customers.
As part of the new lineup, we’re repositioning our family banking products to make them more visible and easier for families to see what’s available to them.
Check out our website’s updated checking page here.
Thank you to everyone who has worked on the rollout of this new lineup. It has been a true team effort to ensure the products are available for branches to open, all staff is trained, and our website and sales materials are in place!
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
New ATM benefit available for employees
We’re excited to announce a new benefit for employees! As of January 1st, North Shore Bank’s Employee Checking account offers free out-of-network ATM withdrawals. This is available to employees who use their Platinum Debit Card associated with their Employee Checking account.
There is no limit on the number of transactions. You may still need to pay a surcharge fee from the ATM owner, but North Shore Bank will not charge an out-of-network fee. To avoid a surcharge fee, you can use a North Shore Bank ATM or any ATM in the MoneyPass network. 02470
