An Exciting Partnership with DoorDash
Starion Bank is thrilled to announce its partnership with DoorDash, a leader in food delivery services. This collaboration is set to provide financial services for Dashers—independent contractors who complete deliveries through the DoorDash platform. Through Starion Bank’s role as a sponsor bank, Dashers can now access deposit accounts and manage their earnings directly within the DoorDash app. Whether Dashers are based in bustling cities across the country or smaller towns like Fargo, Bismarck or Madison, Wisconsin, they now have a reliable financial partner helping them manage their finances with ease.

A Legacy of Innovation with Community Roots
Founded in 1969, Starion Bank is known for its deep roots in North Dakota and Wisconsin communities. Over the years, it has evolved from a traditional community bank into an innovator, always seeking new ways to serve its customers. This partnership with DoorDash is a perfect example of that innovative spirit. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to both our local communities and our ability to support national platforms,” said Rick Geloff, Starion Bank’s CFO/COO.
Starion’s role goes beyond just supporting local businesses; it offers Dashers access to financial solutions that would help them manage earnings efficiently. This growth allows Starion to continue supporting the ever-changing needs of its customers—whether they’re local small businesses or delivery drivers nationwide.
“Our community bank remains committed to providing personal service while expanding its offerings to support the evolving needs of businesses and individuals,” said Craig Larson, Starion Bank CEO. “The ability to offer deposit accounts to Dashers is opening significant new growth opportunities.”

This family-owned community bank continues to build on its strong foundation.
How DoorDash Helps Small Businesses
DoorDash isn’t just about convenience for consumers; it’s a game-changer for many small and locally-owned businesses. For many, offering delivery services on their own would be impossible. Thanks to platforms like DoorDash, these businesses can reach new customers and grow their operations.
“Partnering with DoorDash is meaningful because they share our mission—helping small businesses succeed,” said Geloff. “It’s rewarding to be part of the process that helps deliver meals from favorite local restaurants right to people’s doors.”

No matter which city a Dasher is located in, they’ll be able to manage their earnings and rewards directly through the app, thanks to Starion’s trusted infrastructure.
