happy holidays

We want to extend our warmest greetings for a safe, healthy, and happy New Year.


This holiday season we are reminded of all that we are thankful for and that includes our communities, members, and staff.


As we reflect on 2023, we want to express how much we truly appreciate your support.


We are excited to be celebrating 85 years as a credit union in 2024! We started in 1939 in Cook, Minnesota and have grown to have branches across the region. We opened our newest branch in Mountain Iron this month!


We have outgrown our space in Super One Foods in Virginia and plan to close that branch and transition into our Mountain Iron branch by the end of January. We hope all our members there will come check out the new branch for all your banking needs. 


Earlier in the year, we relocated our Duluth branch, along with our friendly staff, to a building that features plenty of parking, easy entrance, a drive-thru, and an overnight deposit.


We welcomed our new Mascot Star the Yeti. She has quickly become a member of our team.


Thank you for continuing to grow with us and being a part of our credit union. It means a lot to us to be small enough to know you and large enough to serve you.


We are here to help you reach your financial goals and dreams. We would love for you to take time to explore our products and services and other ways that we can guide you.

Drew's Counseling Corner


Hi! I’m Drew Braun and I’m a consumer loan officer here at North Star Credit Union. I work primarily in our Cook office but have also spent time helping at some of our other branches. Maybe you have worked with me already! I’m fortunate to be a part of the exceptional lending team at North Star Credit Union.


This past October, I became a Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor. Throughout the certification process, I received a broad knowledge of how to assist members in areas related to their financial well-being. I have a passion and interest in assisting people who may be looking for some financial guidance.


Some topics are not always easy to discuss, especially when you don’t have someone you feel you can talk to. I want you to know that I would be very happy to sit down with you and just have an informal conversation with you. It will be confidential and easy-going.


I can assist you to:


  • Create a budget or spending plan
  • Finance a car or recreational vehicle
  • Find ways to help improve your credit score
  • Make a plan to help you reach your financial goals
  • Figure out how to eliminate debt
  • Plan for college/tuition expenses


There is no cost for this and no expectations. I am here to simply be of assistance in any way that I can. Stop on by and see me at our Cook branch or email me at dbraun@northstarcreditunion.org with questions or if you would like to set up a time to sit down with me.
