Minnesota Credit Unions

About Credit Unions

Overall, more than 1.8 million Minnesota consumers are member-owners of the state’s credit unions. As not-for-profit financial cooperatives, credit unions, on average, offer higher savings rates, lower loan rates and have lower and fewer fees, compared with other financial institutions.
​
The Credit Union National Association estimates that Minnesota credit unions provide $168,388,860 in direct financial benefits to members last year. These benefits are equivalent to $94 per member or $197 per member household.
Find a Credit Union

Minnesota Credit Unions are...

Member-owned: A credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned and controlled by the people, or members, who use their services.

Not for profit: Unlike banks and other financial institutions, credit unions return profits to members - not to shareholders - in the form of fewer fees on services, lower rates on loans, higher returns on savings and personalized service.

Insured: The National Credit Union Administration insures federal credit union deposits up to $250,000 per individual depositor, the same as FDIC protection for bank account.

Accessible: Because of the collaborative nature of credit unions, most members can use a nationwide network of over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMS and 7,000 shared service centers.
​

That's the credit union difference.



There's a Credit Union for Everyone in Minnesota

Members of credit unions share a common bond, also known as a field of membership. This unique aspect of credit unions helps personalize a credit union’s benefits and services to their specific members.
​
A field of membership can be defined by:
  • Many credit unions service anyone that lives in a defined geographic area such as a specific county or region.
  • Companies sponsor credit unions as a benefit for employees; and some credit unions are organized for special trade groups - like aviation or healthcare workers.
  • Membership in a group such as a place of worship, school, labor union or homeowners’ association may qualify you to join a credit union. And, most credit unions encourage members families to join.

​Credit Unions Power the Economy:

  • Money from members saving and borrowing at credit unions stays in the state.
  • Economic contributions of Minnesota credit unions drove a $3.1 billion impact on the Minnesota economy.
  • Credit unions helped local small business and entrepreneurs with more than $2 billion in Member Business Loans in 2018.

​Credit Unions Give Back to their Communities

They invest back into the community they are part of by providing financial education, scholarships opportunities and service projects:
  • 10 school credit union branches provide money management and career skills for students. 
  • Credit unions cooperatively provided scholarships through the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council.
  • For CU FORWARD Day, 4,000 volunteers representing 58 credit unions and partners completed 20,000 hours on a traditional bank holiday.
