Baylake Bank’s Tisch Mills Financial Center, located at 18923 Tisch Mills Road, will be closing soon. We want all our customers to know that our last day of operation will be Wednesday, June 5, 2013. According to Lakeshore Market President Mike Gilson, the primary reason for closing is based on the change in customer’s banking behaviors. More customers are conducting business using online banking and direct deposit. In addition, Baylake Bank has other locations in close proximity with full-time availability including the Luxemburg Financial Center and the Kewaunee Financial Centers.

“We reduced our hours to three days a week at the Tisch Mills location more than two years ago. The decision to close the office was not an easy one. We hope to continue to serve the financial needs of the people and businesses living and working in the proximity of our Tisch Mills office from our nearby Kewaunee and Luxemburg Financial Centers,” Gilson said. “I want to thank the employees of the office for their dedication over our 25 years in Tisch Mills and hope our customers will continue to place their confidence in us.”

According to Gilson, the U.S. Postal Service that shares office space in the building intends to extend their lease with Baylake and will remain open and operating at the 18923 Tisch Mills Road location.
