Meet Your Hinckley Team

A new branch starts with a building, but the relationships formed inside are what matter most. As construction wraps up, our Hinckley team is preparing to welcome familiar faces and meet new neighbors.

If you’re already a member, the branch gives you another place to connect with Northwoods and receive personal support. If you’re new to us, stop in to ask questions, learn about membership, and explore the services available.

You don’t need to have a specific financial goal in mind to start a conversation. Whether you’re thinking about saving, planning a purchase, or learning more about your options, our team looks forward to helping you take the next step.

Financial Services and Education Close to Home

Our Hinckley branch will offer checking and savings accounts, lending services, and personalized financial support. We look forward to helping members with everyday banking needs and the bigger financial decisions that come along throughout life.

Our commitment to the community also includes financial education. We’re available to connect with local schools about classroom visits and with employers about educational sessions for employees.

These opportunities give people a place to ask questions, build practical money skills, and learn more about managing their finances. Schools and employers interested in discussing an educational visit can contact our Marketing Department at marketing@northwoodscu.org.

Celebrating 90 Years and a New Chapter

Northwoods Credit Union has served northern Minnesota since 1936. Opening our Hinckley branch during our 90th anniversary year gives us another reason to celebrate with the people and communities we serve.

As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative, our focus is on helping members succeed financially. We’re excited to bring that commitment to our Hinckley location and build relationships here for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our progress and shared in the excitement. We look forward to opening our doors November 2 and celebrating together November 6!
