Gregg Klohn, CPA

Senior Vice President

“In my background as a C.P.A. and running businesses I had been on the customer side of the table, so I understood all of their needs. I could relate to them better than a banker that just looked at financials. I can see past the transaction.”

Gregg Klohn, CPA, understands how his clients feel when they come to 21st Century Bank to learn about Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and business finances – because he’s been on that side of the desk before. He began his career in finance as a Certified Public Accountant, then worked as a Chief Financial Officer for large corporations and as a general manager of a hotel.

When he joined 21st Century, he was able to focus his years of experience on helping people get SBA loans. Now, as a specialist in SBA lending, he knows how to do the homework, provide the rationale and make the deal work for all parties.

Gregg saw the opportunities available for many clients that traditional banks were not able to work with. By networking with agencies like the Neighborhood Development Center, the Minnesota Black Chamber of Commerce and the Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA) he was able to make 21st Century Bank one of the top SBA lenders in the State of Minnesota.

Gregg says good customer service comes down to honesty. A good advisor will tell you what’s really going on – not just what you want to hear. He also says customers can feel confident in working with 21st Century Bank for their SBA loans because, unlike large banks, 21st Century doesn’t sell SBA loans to other lenders.

“I’m engaged so you will be successful and then I’ll be successful,” he said. “I’m investing in you, and you’re important to us.”

Gregg lives in Loretto and works at the Loretto 21st Century Bank branch, where he enjoys driving through the rural scenery of Minnesota. In his free time, he teaches children’s tennis through community education and is an active member of the board of directors for the Minnesota Black Chamber of Commerce.

Customer Testimonial

“The one thing that’s most important to me is that 21st Century Bank doesn’t have a high turnover. The people I worked with last year, the year before, or five years ago are all still there. We’re on a first-name basis so that when we call in, they know who we are. It’s not like a big bank, where we’re just a number. It’s the service you don’t get at many banks anymore.”
