What we do

With more than 90 years of serving Central Minnesota, we began serving postal employees in 1930 and expanded throughout the years to people who live or work in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright, Meeker, Kandiyohi, and Morrison counties. Our credit union’s core values support the mission to leverage our not-for-profit financial cooperative to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people and our communities.

We are proud to serve members in central Minnesota with six branches in St. Cloud, Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Becker, and Albertville. St. Cloud Financial Credit Union is like one of your neighbors, and neighbors take care of one another.

Our mission is to be a trusted provider of financial services while building lasting relationships with our members, employees, and community.

Since our beginning in 1954 as the St. Lawrence State Hospital Employees Federal Credit Union, we have focused on making a positive impact on people’s lives. We are committed to honesty, ethics, and transparency while engaging members and our communities on all levels of financial literacy.

Granite Credit Union’s mission is “We believe in providing sound financial opportunities to help pave the way for life’s biggest moments. At Granite Credit Union, we aspire to be a constant in our members’ lives; a trusted partner in both good times and challenging ones. We’re committed to doing whatever it takes to make it easy for our members to make life happen.”

NAE was formed when ten Ford employees from the Norfolk Assembly Plant pooled their resources to help other employees save and borrow (if needed) for the future. Shortly after being formed, the responsibility for growing the credit union was turned over to our current President/C.E.O., Palmer Stillman. During these formative years, the credit union grew from his shirt pocket to the back porch of Palmer’s house. It was during this time that the credit union reflected the image of a family credit union.

In the following years since NAE has been approached and agreed to merge three other credit unions into our current field of membership, Norfolk Southern Employees Credit Union (2014), Tidewater Dominion Employees Federal Credit Union (2016), and Norfolk Municipal Employees Federal Credit Union (2018).

WNC Community Credit Union was established in 1946 as Thoroughbred Credit Union, later changing it’s name to Dayco Credit Union. Our mission was to serve the employees of the Dayco plant in Waynesville, NC. With a plant closure eminent, Dayco Credit Union applied for and received a community charter from the state of North Carolina, thus opening membership to anyone living or working in Haywood or Jackson county. In 1997, the former Dayco Credit Union became WNC Community Credit Union (WNCCCU).

ECUC was organized in 1972 to represent the special interests of education and school credit unions. The founding members recognized that educator credit unions are unique and could greatly benefit from cooperatively coming together to share ideas and resources. Over forty years later, with so many changes in the CU industry, the Council continues to be the pillar upholding the vision and mission of education in CUs across the nation.

The Credit Union for Robertson County was chartered in 1968 by employees of the Jesse Holman Jones Hospital. At that time, it was known as Jesse Holman Jones Hospital Employees Credit Union. In 1983, the membership expanded to include health-related employees and County and City employees. In 1987, the credit union at Tappan (now Electrolux Home Products) was merged with us and, in 1991, we merged with Unarco’s Credit Union. We became “The Credit Union for Robertson County” in October of 1994–a name that better reflected our broader area of service. Anyone who works or worships within 25 miles of our branch on Memorial Boulevard is eligible to join our credit union family.

Pillar's mission started in 1960 with hard-working, salt-of-the-earth railroad workers. Initially named Marion Erie Credit Union, we were established as a state-chartered credit union with Erie Railroad employees and their families as members. Quaker Credit Union merged with us in 1977, and Parker-Elgin Federal Credit Union in November 2003.

Since those early days of “lunchbox offices,” our credit union has been a safe place for the workers who keep our communities moving forward. Over 60 years later, that hasn’t changed. We continue serving people from all walks of life with a focus on strengthening their financial fitness along the way.

POECU was founded in 1924 by the Employees of the United States Postal Service in New Orleans, LA. In October of 2016, POECU merged with Homeland FCU and opened two more branches in the Greater New Orleans Area.
