This year, 2026, marks 70 years in business for Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union. Seventy years since the small group of papermill employees took action on a shared vision of a new type of financial institution. The changes and growth that we've experienced over the decades would certainly make those individuals proud.
In fact, all of you, our member owners, can share in that same pride as the success of the credit union is ours to share. The team here at MMFCU is working to deliver a couple of "gifts" to you.
First, plans are well under way for the construction of a new office to serve the community of Staples. The new office will be located along Highway 10, it will provide more convenient access to citizens of that community as well as many other MMFCU members that travel the Highway 10 corridor. The progress on the building should be easy to monitor as you pass us by!
Another exciting project already underway is the development of an online investment portal. This means you can keep more of your savings and investments right here with MMFCU while still accessing options like stocks, funds (ETFs), crypto, automated investing (robo-advising), and even buying small pieces of stock (fractional shares). It's all easy and will be built right into the Online Banking and Mobile App you already use!
These are just a couple of the items planned for 2026. Keep your eyes open for the details in the months ahead. Congratulations on 70 years!
