Join us in celebrating Suzette Zapuchlak’s 10-year anniversary with Bank of Wisconsin Dells this month! As a Commercial Loan Specialist, Suzette is a hardworking local who has earned the trust and friendship of so many in our community. Her coworkers know they can always count on her for the back story on anything local, as she seems to know everyone and can piece together any timeline or family connection. Each day, Suzette shows how much she cares about our customers and the bank. She has faced challenges with strength and perseverance, and we are proud to have her as part of the BWD team! Congratulations, Suzette!
