Popular Credit Union in Minnesota is Opening Soon in Rochester

Ok, please...PLEASE...don't shoot the messenger on this one.  I know that everyone thinks that Rochester, Minnesota already has enough banks.  Well, apparently not because we are getting another one.

Check out the new bank that is opening soon in Rochester, Minnesota

I was driving over to Home Depot over the weekend and happened to see out of the corner of my eye a new sign that was up in an open area by the newer HyVee.  It was right next to the new dental office that I wrote about in August.

Wings Financial Credit Union is opening soon in Rochester, but what is it?

In case you are newbie to this bank like I am, I did a little bit of research to see what Wings Financial Credit Union is all about.  Here's what I found:

• They have locations in Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, and Washington
• It started in 1938.
• It was originally charted by 7 Northwest Airlines employees.
• Technically a credit union is not the same as a bank.
• Learn more at their website here.

Wings Financial was originally chartered by 7 Northwest Airlines employees who recognized the value of a cooperative financial institution where members help each other succeed financially. In this cooperative spirit, Wings is a not-for-profit financial institution where members are also owners. All earnings are reinvested in the credit union in the form of higher savings yields, lower loan rates, fewer and lower fees – as well as in-person, mobile and online service options.

Today, Wings gives flight to over 320,000 members’ dreams worldwide. While members often remark that Wings has a small community feel, we have the size and scale to offer superior pricing and service. At over $7.5 billion in assets, Wings is Minnesota’s largest credit union and ranks among the nation’s top 40 credit unions. - Wings Financial Credit Union website
