Lori Astleford is a gem! As a realtor, I work with a lot of lenders, and Lori is one of the best! Always professional, accessible, and knowledgeable, she goes over and above to work with clients to get a mortgage. Lori is also kind, generous and cares about her clients beyond just a "transaction". I will recommend Lori to my clients!

I've been a member since @1983. I used to be a real estate closer (handling endless paperwork and financial disbursements). I used to tell anyone who listened that they should apply for a mortgage with this organization. The savings would be in the hundreds as the credit union does not charge the customary fees folks are charged by commercial lenders, like closing fees totalling nearly $4000! The employees at North Star are always friendly and quick to fix whatever you're calling about. Even someone like me, a verified pack sacker is treated like royalty. Thanks to all of the hard working folks

I have been a member for about 10 yrs. And the staff has always been beyond helpful ! If they know you by name they greet you by your name. Jolene goes above and beyond to make sure every member is happy. It's the best place in Cook,mn to do your banking. They also have a student credit union in the local School, which is nice for students with accounts.

I have been happy in the past with North Star..but the new app to get online is aweful. It's locked me out again for the 6th time. So in order to get it unlocked I have to call the credit union and ask them to unlock it. On a weekend I need access to it and can't because you aren't open until Monday. I predominantly use the online application to view, make transfers and do balance checks. But even when I set the account up to recognize my laptop inevitably it will go back to asking me the security image/questions after a couple of weeks and then even when I answer them correctly it locks me out

Local community credit union. Staff knows almost everyone by name and is helpful.
Convenient location in the downtown area. Nice drive through banking option.
As with all banking be aware of terms and conditions with and transactions.
Good bank for personal accounts or small business. Not as many options for large online banking needs.
