What began as the Minneapolis Star Employees Credit Union in 1931 has flourished into Star Choice Credit Union-- a strong, healthy, stable financial institution. With our rich heritage of newspaper employees, we were able to grow the credit union to where we are today. Because of this growth over the years, we are now able to open our doors to others. Our membership base now includes: Anyone that lives, works, worships, attends school, and/or volunteers within Hennepin County. Employees of a company within the information media, advertising, print and/or related services industry. Family of current Star Choice members including your spouse, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Today we still carry out the tradition of people-helping-people by building strong financial futures. From your very first car to your retirement account, you can turn to Star Choice for all your financial needs. HERE'S OUR HISTORY On June 24, 1931, amidst the Great Depression, seven employees of the Minneapolis Star newspaper pooled $5 each to form the Minneapolis Star Employees Credit Union. Over 80 years later, Star Choice Credit Union boasts nearly 6,000 members and assets exceeding $45 million.
