How a vision for community centered fiduciary care became a statewide milestone.

Becoming South Dakota’s first Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) to offer trust services
wasn’t just a regulatory milestone, it marked the beginning of a new standard for fiduciary care
in our region. It represented a commitment to redefining what thoughtful, responsible
stewardship can look like for individuals, families, and communities. Black Hills Trust Company
was founded with a simple but powerful belief: trust and estate services should be accessible,
compassionate, and grounded in the values of the people they serve.

While our roots are connected to the credit union movement and its longstanding commitment to
community, our services extend far beyond membership. We proudly serve both credit union
members and nonmembers, offering the same level of clarity, accountability, and longterm
stewardship to every individual, family, and professional partner who entrusts us with their
legacy.

As a public trust company, we combine decades of fiduciary expertise with a relationship driven
approach that prioritizes transparency, respect, and thoughtful guidance. This structure allows
us to deliver highquality trust administration, estate management, conservatorships, agency
services, and custodial support with the personal attention our clients deserve.
Our path to becoming the first of our kind in South Dakota reflects our commitment to
innovation, integrity, and service. It’s a milestone we’re proud of, but more importantly, it’s a
promise to continue elevating the standard of fiduciary care for generations to come.
