    I have been a member of Cambridge Co-op Credit Union/Minnco Credit Union for about 60 years. When I was 18, I bought my first car after getting a loan from Andre. For myself and my five brothers, all we had to do was give him our name and he trusted us and we got the loan, no questions asked. This created trust and respect that has lasted my entire life.

    For the first time ever, my card was compromised. Soon as I noticed it, I contacted Minnco. They were fast and efficient on taking care of my issue. They immediately put my concerns at ease. My account is back in order and a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders. I am so grateful to know that my finances are in safe hands!

    Minnco was there when we needed money for home improvements. They were also there when we needed a costly water treatment system. The company we purchased the water system from originally financed us through a high-interest rate loan, which we quickly transferred to Minnco at a much lower interest rate. Way to go, Minnco!

    We purchased the Route 66 warranty for our Chevy pick up. It  was a great decision because the transmission went out on us 6 months later. The warranty saved us $3,300. The only thing we had to pay was the sales tax of the transmission. They were so wonderful to work with and it was so easy. We strongly recommend investing in the Route 66 warranty!

    Local, hometown, friendly bank. Due to the downturn in the economy many years ago, Minnco made it possible for us to get our life back on track financially after a job loss. We wouldn't be where we are today without their help years ago.

    It's not a national level chain of branch offices... it's local banking for local people.

    In 1996, my husband and I were looking to become first-time homeowners. We knew we were going to need a loan, so we decided to look in the community where we hoped to live and raise our family. We approached a few banks and then learned of Minnco. The reception, respect, and support we received at our first appointment secured the deal and we have been members ever since.

    I love it when I come through the drive through and they know who I am and call me by name.  This is personal service which is missed in the world today.  It makes me feel like I am valued by Minnco.

    Minnco has supported my ability to provide the best care for my horses. They financed a trailer so I could haul them to receive medical care, and they provided financing so we could build stalls. As any horse owner will tell you, horses are the best part of my day, and they keep me sane. Minnco gave me the ability to be a better horse mom.

    For the past 15 years, Minnco has empowered my husband and me to live our best lives! We are big outdoor enthusiasts, and Minnco financed several toys for our outdoor enjoyment (fishing boat, Ice Castle, and multiple ATVs). Thank you for investing in us!
