Thank you SPIRE for being a member of the Isle Area Chamber of Commerce!
SPIRE Credit Union began as Twin City Co-ops Credit Union in 1934 during the Great Depression. The credit union’s goal has always been to improve the financial lives for both personal and business members. Today SPIRE has 17 branches across the Twin Cities metro area and throughout northern Minnesota serving Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Credit Unions are not-for-profit organizations where the profits come back to members through low fees, great rates on loans (including auto, personal, home equity, and business loans and mortgages), higher rates on savings, and educational programs. Also, credit unions are owned by members who vote and elect a volunteer board of directors. Finally, deposits at federally insured credit unions (including SPIRE) are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which protects deposits the same way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insures banks in case of failure. Members’ deposits are insured up to $250,000.
A full-service financial institution, SPIRE offers an array of checking accounts (including a free checking account), ATM network, and a staff of licensed retirement and investment professionals. Through 9.30.18, if you open a new checking account, you can get $100 (certain conditions apply, see www.myspire.com for more details). In Isle, Branch Manager Linda Thiele and staff are member-focused and active in the community and welcome your questions.
