How are Windsor and Plains Commerce Bank the same?

You may have heard it said that Windsor Mortgage is a service provided by Plains Commerce Bank. So, who is Plains Commerce Bank? The roots of PCB go back over 80 years. In 1931, the doors to the Bank of Hoven opened in the community of Hoven, SD. As the community grew, so did the bank, thriving as each decade passed. Fast-forward to 2001, when the Bank of Hoven merged with The Peoples Bank (founded in 1926). With the merger came the need for a new name, and that’s how Plains Commerce Bank (PCB) was chosen.

PCB had done mortgages for many, many years, but in late 2008 they committed to elevating the mortgage experience, and with that commitment, they bought Journey Mortgage, an independent mortgage company owned by Chris Vinson. In 2016, as an extension of the bank’s commitment to changing the mortgage experience, the wholesale mortgage division, Windsor Mortgage was established, with CEO Chris Vinson at the helm with the vision to help mortgage professionals be good at mortgages.

Part of the Windsor Advantage you’ll come to experience is this mutually beneficial relationship with PCB, allowing Windsor and our customers to thrive in this new market, while other lenders are struggling to survive.
