Gate City Bank promotes Amanda Love to Jamestown supervisor

Gate City Bank elevated Amanda Love to Customer Service & Sales Supervisor at its Jamestown location on January 14, 2026, a move that keeps a familiar face in a role central to day-to-day customer relationships. For Jamestown residents who rely on local banking for mortgages, small business accounts and personal service, the promotion signals continuity in customer-facing operations.

Love joined Gate City Bank in 2020 and brings five years of banking experience combined with a diverse background in hospitality, childcare, food service and the culinary industry, including four years running her own bakery. She has served as a Customer Service Representative and as Senior Customer Service Representative Lead. In August, Love received the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Customer Service Award for professionalism, warmth and a personal approach to serving customers. She is originally from Argyle, Minnesota, now lives in Jamestown, and holds an associate degree in patisserie and baking from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Gate City Bank is a $3.8 billion mutual bank founded in 1923 and is the top mortgage lender in North Dakota. The bank employs more than 770 team members across 45 locations in 23 communities in North Dakota and central Minnesota. For a largely rural region like ours, a regional mutual bank with deep local staffing matters: it sustains lending capacity, preserves local decision making and supports continuity of service during periods of broader banking consolidation.

At the local level, promoting an internal team member to a supervisory sales and service role reduces turnover risk and preserves institutional knowledge about Jamestown households and businesses. Employees with hands-on customer experience and community ties often improve retention and customer satisfaction, which in turn stabilizes deposit flows and the availability of credit for homebuyers and entrepreneurs. Love’s background in small business ownership and hospitality dovetails with a community bank’s need to understand Main Street challenges and opportunities.

The appointment also has social value beyond banking. Love mentors with BIO Girls Jamestown, an organization focused on building confidence in young girls, and her public profile underscores the ways bank staff contribute to civic life. That civic engagement can strengthen trust in local financial institutions, an important asset when residents weigh mortgage and lending decisions.

Our two cents? Expect more of the same warm, locally grounded service at the Jamestown branch and consider this promotion a good sign that Gate City Bank is investing in community-rooted leadership. If you’re planning a mortgage or small business loan, meeting with a locally based supervisor who knows the community can make the process smoother.
