Our Story

Committed to your financial well-being and success.

It all began with a few teachers and a dream. Back in 1939, eight Minneapolis teachers decided to take control of their own financial security. They formed the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers Credit Union. Over the years the credit union has endured name changes, added field of memberships and expanded across the Midwest. In 2020 a merger with Firefly Credit Union – Minnesota’s first financial cooperative – made us the second-largest credit union in the state. But your goals have always been our priority, and we exist to help you reach them.

As a not-for-profit financial institution, we're different from a bank because our members are our owners (people who live, work, worship, attend school, or volunteer in our membership area). Our profits are returned as competitive rates, higher investment returns and fewer fees. 

Our mission, vision and values are at the heart of what we do.

They are equal parts of a whole and together they serve as a benchmark measuring our accuracy of brand execution.

Our Mission:


What we do...
We engage, educate and inspire our members to achieve lifelong financial well-being.


Our Vision:


Who we are/who we strive to be...
TruStone Financial is a credit union driven to create exceptional financial experiences.

Our  Core Values:

How we work with our members and with each other...
  • Integrity // Act in the best interest of our members.
  • Collaboration // Think independently. Work collectively.
  • Simplicity // Deliver frictionless service. Be easy to work with.
  • Energy // Be tireless in our pursuit of excellence.
  • Continuous Improvement // Demonstrate an eagerness to learn and evolve.

Great organizations start with great leadership.

We are proud of those who help guide TruStone forward every day.

There is no financial institution quite like a credit union.

While we are similar to banks in the services we offer, our structure and our mission are very different.
We also love sharing our knowledge of the credit union difference. Ask us to learn more.
