Notes
Bridges Trust Company of South Dakota is on the South Dakota Division of Banking September 2026 roster as a public trust company (TC.131-2), first issued 8 January 2019, at 6909 S. Lyncrest Place, Suite 120, Sioux Falls.
This is the South Dakota affiliate of Omaha’s Bridges Trust platform. The South Dakota page cites directed trusts and collaborative administration; the parent Trust & Estate Management page markets a full trustee and estate-administration seat. A disclosure page places this charter, Nebraska-chartered Bridges Trust Company, and Bridges Investment Management, Inc. under Bridges Holding Company. Do not collapse the entities. Published operations contact is Omaha. This page does not invent fees or AUM.
What to verify next
Name Bridges Trust Company of South Dakota, credential TC.131-2, on a South Dakota appointment — not Nebraska-chartered Bridges Trust Company and not Bridges Investment Management, Inc. Ask whether the seat is directed, collaborative administration, or a full trustee/estate-management engagement, and which office (roster Sioux Falls versus published Omaha operations) will actually administer. Ownership is a private Omaha platform, not an independent boutique. Ask for a current fee schedule; do not invent fees. Omit AUM.
